After serving time in the Shawshank prison, one of the prison guards escapes. He slowly makes his way to California, where he meets another inmate who, while serving a sentence far too long, tries to get his life back on track. He refuses to break the law, however, and to remain in prison, he must find a way to take care of his sister. This is the story of two men, both on the wrong side of the law, who find hope through acts of common decency and a bond of trust, Crime, punishment, and forgiveness are the main themes of this film. These themes are shown in the movie through several issues. One of these is shown through dialogue and the other is shown through visuals. The dialogue in the film is shown through two major characters, Red and Andy. They are two separate threads, but their dialogue helps to illustrate the crime, punishment, and forgiveness theme that the film primarily focuses on. The movie also has visuals that help to reinforce the themes of the film.

The Shawshank Redemption is a 1994 American film directed by Frank Darabont, based on the novella Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption by Stephen King. The film tells the story of Andy Dufresne, an innocent man who is wrongly convicted of murdering his wife and her lover and sentenced to life in Shawshank State Penitentiary. He is later freed and returns years later, to find his old friend, Ellis “Red” Redding, who has been arrested for the murder of his wife and her lover. Andy helps Red escape from prison, and the two go on the run. The film is told in a non-linear narrative, jumping between Andy’s time in prison and events that happened twenty-five years after his release.
