The Shawshank Redemption (1994)

Is an american drama film written and directed by Frank Darabont and starring Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins. The films tells the story of Andy Dufrese (Tim Robbins) who was a banker and he decided to kill his wife and her lover.

While Andy was in prison he met Ellis Boyd "Red" (Morgan Freeman) and other prisioners. The prison is a terrible place with criminals and Andy isn't strong but during his time at prision he finds protection by the guards after the warden starts using him in his money laundering operation.

I really like this movie by its realism, performances and amazing history. It has sad moments and happy times. The final is awesome. For me The Shawshank Redemption is one of the best films in history of the cinema.
