Andy, a man that was sent to jail for a crime he didn’t do. He went through it peacefully and didn’t cause too much drama. He made a good friend Red who is the guy who can get things. At the beginning of the movie he gets a rock hammer from Red which Red laughed and asked if he was going to break out with it. Andy just laughed and said wait till you look at it. It was a small little hammer which red thought that nobody could tunnel out with that. Sure enough Andy attempted and was able to tunnel himself through a wall with that little hammer that took him19 years.
Andy spent 19 years in prison before he broke out. He was an innocent man that was sent to life in prison for killing his wife and her lover. Along the way he met a new guy Tommy who had a cellmate that told him that the husband took the blame for the golf pro and woman (which was Andy’s wife) when he actually killed them. Andy told the Warden and he didn’t want him to get out because Andy was his financial man. The Warden took it so far that he decided to kill Tommy so Andy wouldn’t be released. That’s when Andy decided to break out of the prison through the whole he dug. He took all of the Wardens Dirty money with him and already had a new name.
Shawshank Redemption is one of the best movies we watched in film studies. I thought it was really interesting seeing how an innocent man goes through prison for 19 years who used to be a successful man. And how he planned and escapes in the prison, crawled 500 yards through poop with the Wardens suit and freshly buffed shoes and how he goes to the bank and takes out all of the money. I also liked how he wrote a letter and shipped it off which said everything the Warden was doing. He then decided to take the easy way out and kill himself. He told Red where to go once he gets out of prison which contained a letter saying where he would be and some money to get him there. At the end of the movie they are reunited on a nice sand beach which made for a great ending.
