This all time within IMDB top 5 movie really deserves a watch even by those who don't want to spare time on movies. A great drama by Tim Robbins (as Andy Dufresne) and Morgan Freeman (as Ellis Boyd 'Red' Redding). Both have done a great job. This movie has set milestones. Andy a successful business man sees a full circle of destiny and his life goes all bleak when he is convicted for full life imprisonment for the murder of his wife and her lover. Andy is sent to Shawshank Prison for the murder case. He is very isolated and lonely at the beginning. He faces really bad times there that he even couldn't thought of even if he would have imagined about a life in a prison. But eventually realizes there is something deep inside him that sets him apart from the mass and other prisoner. Andy has 'HOPE' and 'PERSEVERANCE'. Andy becomes friends with prison 'fixer' Red. And makes a story. Andy shows when one has dreams, life can really be changed. Did Andy ever realize his dreams? What is the story that Andy made? And why this movie deserves a watch even by those who don't waste time on movies, spend some on it to figure out.

Nice review. And a great movie. I have watched it several times over the years. I remember this quote at least once a week:
