Andy Dufresne is a young and successful banker who's life changes drastically when he is sentenced to life in prison for killing his wife and her lover. The film shows how Andy, with the help from his friend Red, turns out to be the most unconventional prisoner. 

This film is similar to our final film idea as it has the same plot; a happy successful mans life changes due to being wrongly accused of a murder. However the ending is different as in The Shawshank Redemption, Andy escapes, but in our film, the protagonist puts together the pieces and tries to find out who murdered his wife.
