As he learns to navigate the brutal prison society, he befriends other lifers played by Morgan Freeman, James Whitmore and others. His accounting skills earn him the respect of the prison guards and the special attention of the corrupt warden. When the warden quashes evidence proving his innocence, the banker hatches the perfect escape plan. One of the most morally-satisfying, life-affirming films of all time. Screenwriter and debuting director Frank Darabont skillfully dodges sentimentally while conveying the prisoners' struggle to keep alive their sense of hope and purpose. Based on the novella "Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption" by Stephen King. Nominated for seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Actor (Morgan Freeman). |
