This film is a powerful story of resilience, friendship, and redemption based on Stephen King's novel Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption. Frank Darabont directed the film starring Tim Robbins as Andy Dufresne, a banker who is wrongly convicted of murdering his wife, and Morgan Freeman as Red, his loyal friend. Though initially overlooked, it became a beloved classic through critical praise and audience admiration. This film can be termed one of the greatest ever produced due to its rich narration, emotional depth, and outstanding performances.
