The Shawshank Redemption is a 1994 American drama film written and directed by Frank Darabont, loosely based on the Stephen King novella Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption. The film stars Tim Robbins as Andrew "Andy" Dufresne and Morgan Freeman as Ellis Boyd "Red" Redding.

The film portrays Andy spending nearly two decades in Shawshank State Prison, a fictional penitentiary in Maine and his friendship with Red, a fellow inmate. Despite a lukewarm box office reception that was barely enough to cover its budget, The Shawshank Redemption received favorable reviews from critics and has since enjoyed a remarkable life on cable television, VHS, DVD and Blu-ray.

This was used in the scene where Red (Freeman) looks for the box in the location where Andy (Robbins) described.

  • in 1969 a friend and i were riding bicycles around richland mall and the general motors assembly parking lot. he said lets ride to the reformatory . i looked down the driveway and couldnt believe it . seeing the movie was a treat . touring the malabar farm was cool in 1970 . its kind of like a time thing. you were once there and now so much has changed. i really enjoyed ontario and mansfield, when i was 14. david in clarion co. pennsylvania
