Andy Dufresne's life changes when
he
is framed for the murder of his wife and he is sentenced to life
imprisonment but he never gives up hope that one day he will be free on
his own terms.
The cult movie and slow burner of the 90s, an unheralded film which became a popular favourite because it was so well done and the plot was clever without being showy. Also highly literate and moving. Much more than another prison movie this film is one of hope, that whatever our circumstances are we can break through and reach for the stars.
After being a very modest success in movie theatres the film became one of the highest grossing video rentals of all time.
