THE STORY

Few movies capture the triumph of the human spirit as memorably as Frank Darabont’s film The Shawshank Redemption, from the same Stephen King story collection that gave us Stand by Me. It is an extraordinary tale of hope, friendship and survival inside a maximum security prison. Morgan Freeman plays Red, a lifer who knows how to cope with the bleak hopelessness of Shawshank State Prison. Tim Robbins plays new inmate Andy, a quiet banker convicted of murders he didn’t commit – and whose indomitable will earns Red’s respect and friendship. Andy’s resourcefulness brings hope and change to the entire prison. He’s full of surprises. And the best comes last, leading to one of the most satisfying finales in film history.

A TALENTED CAST

TIM ROBBINS (as ANDY DUFRESNE) Tim Robbins began his acting career at age 12 in New York City. After graduating from UCLA, he landed supporting roles in major films like Top Gun and Bull Durham before his breakthrough lead performance in Robert Altman’s 1992 Hollywood parable The Player, for which he won the Best Actor Award at the Cannes Film Festival. In Shawshank, Robbins plays Andy, a mild-mannered New England banker convicted and sentenced to double life sentences for the murder of his unfaithful wife and her lover.


MORGAN FREEMAN (as ELLIS BOYD "RED" REDDING) After attending Los Angeles Community College, Tennessee-born Morgan Freeman embarked on a long and successful acting career, first on the stage and then in film, where he has captured a Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for his performance in Clint Eastwood’s Million Dollar Baby. He also scored Oscar nominations for the 1987 drama Street Smart, then, two years later, as Best Actor in Driving Miss Daisy (re-creating his Obie Award-winning role from the off-Broadway play), and received yet another Best Actor nomination for an his portrait of “lifer” and prison “fixer” Red Redding in The Shawshank Redemption, perhaps his most well-known role.	JAMES WHITMORE (as BROOKS HATLAN) After graduating from Yale while serving in the U.S. Marine Corps during World War II, veteran star James Whitmore won a Tony Award for Best Performance by a Newcomer for the Broadway show Command Decision. A Best Supporting Oscar nomination came with only his second major film role, in 1949’s Battleground. Since then, Whitmore has maintained a steady and eclectic career. A prison librarian who’s been incarcerated his entire adult life, Brooks Hatlen has become institutionalized to the extent that his biggest fear is freedom.	BOB GUNTON (as WARDEN NORTON) A Vietnam veteran, California native Bob Gunton achieved early acclaim for his role opposite then-newcomer Meryl Streep in the 1977 Brecht-Weill musical Happy End, which marked Gunton’s Broadway debut. Since then, he has earned Tony nominations for stage roles in Evita as well as for the title role in the 1990 Broadway revival of Sweeney Todd. Gunton has also demonstrated his versatility on film, notably as Samuel Norton, the devout, deceitful warden of de Shawshank prison	WILLIAM SADLER (as HEYWOOD) A graduate of the State University of New York and Cornell University, Buffalo native William Sadler is a veteran performer whose varied film roles have made him an instantly recognizable face in American movies. His talents made him a perfect fit for Heywood, a member of Red’s inner circle at Shawshank.

HANDS DOWN BEST PICTURE 1994!

Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2020

Verified Purchase

Brilliant! Should have won Best Picture in 1994 instead of that sentimental hogwash—Forrest Gump. There is no comparison. I don’t know how the academy could give Forrest Gump best picture over this movie. It just doesn’t make sense. Morgan Freeman or Tim Robbins should have received Best Actor. They gave it to Tom Hanks for Forrest Gump! Sorry, don’t mean to dump on Gump—but in no way is it up to Shawshank Redemption in any manner, shape or form! But we can’t change the past so we move on. Adults will appreciate this movie. Kids will get it when they get older.

From a lover of filmmaking: It's truly as great as they say.

Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2017

Verified Purchase

Little about me. I absolutely love movies. I had heard so much praise about this film for my entire life. Part of me avoided seeing this movie, worried that it would not live up to the incredible amount of love it receives in so many movie conversations. After watching it tonight, I can honestly say it's as great as they say. Again, I love movies. Especially dramas that can weave their way into your heart, and deeply change the way you see the world. This film impacted me so hard on so many levels. Besides the brilliant script, and the beautifully realized technicalities of the filmmaking, The Shawshank Redemption speaks volumes about friendship, freedom, and society. A must watch. Will definitely revisit this film in the years to come.

What does it take to survive two life sentences in Shawshank Prison?

Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2020

Verified Purchase

Shawshank Redemption is about the main character Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins) trying to survive two life sentences in Shawshank Prison. Two things helped him. One was the group of friends he met led by Red (Morgan Freeman). The other was his determination control his life.

The movie stresses several themes. One was friendship which he found with Red. Then he found things to maintain his dignity and sense of humanity. For instance he offered to set up tax loopholes for the guards in return for beer for his friends. At the same time there was the dehumanization as he was raped and he saw that people became prisoners in their minds even if they were released. The last is hope which Andy struggled to maintain.

Robbins and Freeman gave two amazing and low key performances. Their relationship is what drives the entire movie.

One of the best movies I’ve ever seen

Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2021

“Remember, Red, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.”

Sometimes I think I subconsciously pick movies to rewatch hundreds of times because they bring me some semblance of comfort. I relate to them in more ways than I can possibly admit.

The Shawshank Redemption is one of those movies with an extremely high rewatch value, in my opinion. I’ve lost count the number of times I’ve seen it. I also know that sometimes when I’m blue I do multiple viewings of it in a short period of time. It never fails to put a tear in my eye when Andy Dufresne rips that sewage stained t-shirt from his skin and lets the rain wash everything away as he meets his freedom.

I feel sorry for people who have never seen this film. So, if you’re reading this and other reviews in an attempt to gather up enough positive feedback to make a final judgment call in whether you should watch this movie, I’m telling you you should watch it.

It’s one of the most exemplary models of what a movie should be. The casting is great and the storyline and message behind it is deep. A definite must watch!

I went from watching this on DVD to the Amazon app and now on 4K Blu-ray, each time with visual improvement on the video quality. It’s stunning and well worth the purchase!

This is one of my absolute favorite movies of all time

Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2017

Verified Purchase

This is one of my absolute favorite movies of all time. A prison break story with many modern twists. The good guys win and the bad guys get their just deserts. Very satisfying, especially these days when many movies favor ambiguous morals in the characters and open endings that can leave one high and dry. I love the marriage of figaro, the opera that Tim Robbins plays to the whole prison from the warden's office, in a come-what-may move! Although you can watch this for free on national TV channels sometimes, I like watching it here because it has not been cut for language in some of the very critical parts. This is one of Tim Robbin and Freeman's best. A real surprise from Steven King. Highly recommended!

運命を呪うより明日を変える努力が人を生かす

Reviewed in Japan on July 28, 2018

Verified Purchase

鉄格子は、人から時は奪えても頭上の空の青さは奪えない。
ティム･ロビンス主演の刑務所モノだが、ハリウッド･ヒユーマン･ドラマでは屈指の名作。
たとえどんなに苦しい立場や逆境に有っても、自分を見失わず真摯に生きる事の大切さ、友と自由な人生を歩める有り難さを嫌味なく教えてくれる至玉の作品。
そして自分に与えられた能力を天祐として正しく使うことの意義や、たとえ犯罪者でも心の片隅にある良心や人間性に光を当てて再生を促す収容所の大いなる価値を学ばせてくれる素晴らしいテーマ性が光る。
実話を元にしたクリント･イーストウッドの｢アルカトラズからの脱出｣には脱獄のリアルさでは及ばないが、希望を見失わない勇気や慈愛の精神、怨恨に囚われない意志の尊さ、犯罪者をめぐる社会的メッセージの厚みでは圧倒的に本作に軍配が上がる。
回想ナレーション役のモーガン･フリーマンは、他の映画では人生のあらゆる艱難辛苦を知り尽くしている達観した役柄が定番だが、本作ではいつもと違う不完全な役柄で、彼に起きた変化が仮釈放審査の態度に表れる。犯罪者のみならず人間の心の真理を突いた見事な演出で最も印象的なシーンだ。
時代を越えて語り継がれるべき名作として、多くの方が本作を観て、運命に負けない、人生を諦めない人の心の強さや美しさを感じて貰えることが素直に嬉しい。

un des meilleurs films qu'il m'ait été amené de voir - un chef d'oeuvre -

Reviewed in France on December 28, 2018

Verified Purchase

C'est en 1994 que Frank Darabont écrit et réalise "The Shawshank Redemption" (Les évadés) inspiré d'une courte nouvelle de Stephen King.
Ce film, qui fût un échec commercial à sa sortie sur les écrans (titre imprononçable, film de prison, absence de stars au générique), a véritablement explosé lors de sa sortie en DVD.
Il faut dire que l'on assiste à la projection d'un véritable chef d'œuvre qui va bien au-delà d'un nouveau film sur le milieu carcéral américain. Les thèmes abordés sont avant tout l'amitié profonde qui va naître entre Andy et Red magistralement interprétés par Tim Robbins et Morgan Freeman, la corruption qui gangrène la direction des prisons, l'après sortie lorsqu'on a vécu 50 ans enfermé et la quasi impossibilité de se réinsérer dans la société et la possibilité de rédemption: il faut choisir de vivre ou de mourir.
Le scénario du film est excellent, à la virgule près, la violence se retrouve marginalisée par rapport aux relations humaines qui se nouent entre les différents prisonniers tous parfaitement interprétés notamment par le vétéran James Whitmore.
Un film qui vous marque à tout jamais et que l'on peut voir et revoir sans jamais se lasser.
Un des chefs d'œuvre du 7ème art.

One of the modern classics and does justice to Stephen King.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 18, 2019

Verified Purchase

Loads of reviews here that give justice to a film that many will have in their top all time best film listing as I do.

My copy is the 10th Anniversary, 3 disc Special Edition. Disc 1 has the film and with it an exemplary audio description track for the visually impaired. Indeed the box set has a sticker across it in braille. There are English subtitles for the hearing impaired. A commentary by Frank Darabont the director, plus biographies and memorable quotes.

Discs 2 & 3 are choc-a-bloc full of extras and bonus features that are a real treat in entertainment and information when you have a few hours to spare on a rainy day ---- I've watched some of it, not all, and I'm glad the producers were able to compile these extras before we lose some of those players from the film.
Years from now people will be scrambling to put together something like this to recognize the importance of the film. Thankfully it has been done, credit to the producers and crew for their foresight.

This version of the film is 136 minutes long and is a perfect example of the level of sophistication that a company / group can reach to bring a product to both the hearing and visually impaired. Well done.

Ist ein Film gut, nur weil seine Einspielergebnisse gut war?

Reviewed in Germany on October 3, 2018

Verified Purchase

Ich muss zugeben, dass ich mich früher oft an den Einspielergebnissen orientiert hatte, wenn ich mich nach Filmen umsah. Vor noch längerer Zeit hatten auch die Produktionskosten eine Rolle gespielt, was aber noch weit unsinniger war. Auf "Die Verurteilten" kam ich dadurch, dass ihn der Filmkritiker Robert Hofmann als seinen zweitliebsten Film und er bei dieser Gelegenheit auch erwähnte, dass er auf Platz 1 der IMDb-Rangliste steht (Diese kann ich generell zu studieren empfehlen - Nebst Amazon-Rezensionen). Das machte mich neugierig und nicht zuletzt waren es dann wohl auch die bisher bestehenden Amazon-Rezensionen, die mich dann auch nicht mehr zögern ließ. Ich gehe nicht immer mit dem Geschmack der Masse konform. Aber in diesem Fall hat die Mehrzahl der Menschen Geschmack bewiesen. Mit Bezug auf Einspielergebnisse schnitt der Film wohl gar nicht so berauschend ab. Manche Filme entwickeln sich eben erst nach Veröffentlichung auf DVD zum Hit. Aber besser spät als nie...

Entschieden habe ich mich für eine gebrauchte Variante und was ich bekam, sah aus wie eine der ersten DVDs, die wohl je produziert wurden. Wohl auch dadurch sind manch antike Optionen erklärbar. Überrascht hat mich dann ja, dass überhaupt Extras enthalten waren, was heute ja nicht mehr selbstverständlich ist. Aber diese fallen so überschaubar aus, dass ich sie für nicht erwähnenswert halte. Was ich nicht weiß ist, ob der Film später nochmals mit mehr Extras aufgelegt wurde. Gerade bei einem solchen Film wäre das wirklich schön gewesen. Wenngleich der Film unglaublich für sich selbst spricht und Kommentare von Regisseur oder wem auch immer etwas nehmen könnten, was man sich sonst hätte vielleicht bewahren können. Es gibt eine 2-DVD-Version. Auf deren Konsum ich persönlich keinen allzu großen Wert lege. Weil mir ein Film meist auch irgendwo wichtiger ist als das Zusatzmaterial. Aber da gibt es sicher auch andere Prioritäten...

Der Film dreht sich um Gefängnisinsassen und deren Leben im Gefängnis, worin auch so gut wie der gesamte Film spielt. Im Mittelpunkt stehen dabei die Insassen spielenden Tim Robbins und Morgan Freeman. Der Erstere sitzt unschuldig, der Letztere schuldig ein. Mehr will ich kaum vorweg nehmen, um demjenigen, der den Film noch nicht kennt, die Überraschungen nicht nehmen will. Vorweg nehmen will ich lediglich, dass der Film über die gesamte Länge sehr ruhig und vor allem durch Dialoge zwischen den Akteuren daher kommt. Stellenweise tritt die Synchronstimme Morgan Freemans als Erzähler auf, der die Geschehnnisse aus Sicht seiner Person darstellt. Ich müsste mir den Film ein zweites Mal ansehen, um sagen zu können, wie stark die Stimme des Erzählers präsent war. Oder ob es sie eher am Rande gab.

Es war ewig her, dass ich den Film sah, ehe ich ihn nun sah, unmittelbar bevor ich mich jetzt an diese Rezension gesetzt habe. Manche Szenen blieben mir von früher im Kopf und kamen mir nochmals ins Bewusstsein, ehe ich sie dann nochmals im Film sah. Wenngleich "Die Verurteilten" und "Inception" doch wenig gemeinsam haben, dann doch eins: Beide Filme haben eine unglaubliche Dichte an Denkanstössen!

Der Film lehrte mich irgendwo Bescheidenheit und die Freude an den kleinen Dingen. Er transportiert meine ich wie kaum ein anderer Film, trotz widriger Umstände durchzuhalten. Und dabei geht es oftmals weniger um die eigene Bereicherung. Sondern viel häufiger darum, etwas für andere zu tun, ohne unmittelbar etwas dafür zu bekommen. Einfach der Freude des Gebens willen.
