'''''The Shawshank Redemption''''' is the 1994 feature film adaptation of the short story ''[[Rita Hayworth]] and Shawshank Redemption'' written by [[Stephen King]]. The film focuses on the friendship that develops over twenty years between two prison inmates: "Red" Redding ([[Morgan Freeman]]), a hardened "lifer" and Andy Dufresne ([[Tim Robbins]]), a former banker who says he was wrongfully convicted of killing his wife and her lover. While nominated for seven Academy Awards, "Shawshank" was not a financial success at the time of its theatrical release, but has since developed a much beloved status upon its subsequent viewings on cable and video outlets. ''The Shawshank Redemption'' was directed by [[Frank Darabont]], who would go on to adapt and direct two more of [[Stephen King]]'s works for film: 1999's ''[[The Green Mile]]'' and 2007's ''[[The Mist]]''. In 2015, the film was deemed "culturally, historically, and aesthetically significant" and selected for preservation in the [[:Category:National Film Registry|National Film Registry]] by the United States Library of Congress. | |||

While nominated for seven Academy Awards, "Shawshank" was not a financial success at the time of its theatrical release, but has since developed a much beloved status upon its subsequent viewings on cable and video outlets. The Shawshank Redemption was directed by Frank Darabont, who would go on to adapt and direct two more of Stephen King's works for film: 1999's The Green Mile and 2007's The Mist.
