From THE ONES WE LOVE CLASSIC film series, we are showing THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION by Frank Darabont from 1994. With an incredible IMDB score of 9.3, THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION has been at the top of the IMDB Top 250 list for what feels like an eternity. The irony - it was nominated for 7 Oscars, but won none of them. The movie is based on the 1982 book “Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption” by Stephen King.

Internationally acclaimed actors Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman star in a compelling drama of hope, friendship and atonement behind the walls of a maximum-security prison in The Shawshank Redemption. From a novella by best-selling author Stephen King comes a poignant tale of the human spirit. Red, serving a life sentence, and Andy Dufresne, a mild-mannered banker wrongly convicted of murder, forge an unlikely bond that will span more than twenty years. Together they discover hope as the ultimate means of survival. Under horrifying conditions and the ever-present threat of violence, two lifers reclaim their souls and find freedom within their hearts in THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION.
