Also Known As: Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption (USA) (working title)
A banker is wrongly convicted of murder and sent to life in a Maine prison, where he learns to cope with the realities of prison life while using his intelligence to prevail against the odds. Based on a Stephen King novella, the 7-time Oscar-nominated film is part prison drama, part celebration of the individual spirit.
