A murder case sends banker Andy to prison for the murder of his wife and her lover. His first appearance in Shawshank Prison makes the prison "big brother" Red (Morgan Freeman) look at him differently. Red helps him get a stone hammer and a poster of a female star, and the two become friends in times of adversity. Soon, Andy showed his talent in the prison, acted as a prison librarian, and used his financial knowledge to help prison officers avoid taxes, which attracted the attention of the warden and was led to help the warden launder money. By chance, he learns that a newly jailed thief can testify to help him get away with murder. Andy lit up a glimmer of hope to find the warden, hoping that he can help him overturn the case. The sinister and hypocritical warden pretended to promise Andy, but sent someone to kill the thief behind him, so that his only hope of getting out legally was extinguished. Depressed Andy did not despair, in a thunderstorm night, a hidden decades of escape plan let him self-salvation, regain freedom! His old friend Rhett, with his encouragement and help, also bravely ran to freedom.

"It's a must-see movie for men." That's what everyone says. But simply dividing it by gender would narrow the film. The Shawshank Redemption breaks the limits of a man's movie, has an almost unbelievably warm tone throughout, and the greatest theme in the film is "hope." When we encounter the kind of prison that imprisons the freedom of mind like Shawshank, are we helpless old Brooke, frustrated Red, or wise Andy? Use wisdom, trust in hope, and stand up to fear to defeat it? Classic movies are classic because they all do the same thing - make you appreciate the beauty of hope from a different perspective.
