Adapted from an original story by Stephen King, and directed by Frank Darabont, The Shawshank Redemption was a dud at the box office when it opened in 1994. The movie was a period prison drama with stately, old-fashioned rhythms, starring Tim Robbins as Andy Dufresne, wrongfully convicted of killing his wife, her lover and serving two life terms, and Morgan Freeman as fellow lifer “Red” Redding, who narrates the film. Shawshank failed to find an audience in the over-the-top action oriented cinema of the 1990s. That was then. Today The Shawshank Redemption tops the IMDb’s Top 250 cinema-favorites list with more than a million votes, having passed the previous champ, The Godfather, in 2008. And regularly appears in debates over the Greatest Movies of All-Time.
