Synopsis
In 1946, a banker named Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins) is convicted of a double murder, even though he stubbornly proclaims his innocence. He's sentenced to a life term at the Shawshank State Prison in Maine, where another lifer, Ellis "Red" Redding (Morgan Freeman), picks him as the new recruit most likely to crack under the pressure. The ugly realities of prison life are quickly introduced to Andy: a corrupt warden (Bob Gunton), sadistic guards led by Capt. Byron Hadley (Clancy Brown), and inmates who are little better than animals, willing to use rape or beatings to insure their dominance. But Andy does not crack: he has the hope of the truly innocent, which (together with his smarts) allow him to prevail behind bars. He uses his banking skills to win favor with the warden and the guards, doing the books for Norton's illegal business schemes and keeping an eye on the investments of most of the prison staff. In exchange, he is able to improve the prison library and bring some dignity and respect back to many of the inmates, including Red. Based on a story by Stephen King, The Shawshank Redemption was the directorial debut of screenwriter Frank Darabont. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

A Must see for anyone who belives in Hope !
May 17, 2017This is one movie that I just can't stop watching when it come on TV, because it touches the Heart and Feelings of the Human Spirit not to give up Hope ! Just like Andy says, "This place (Shawshank) is where a person needs Hope the Most ! So I just had to buy it when I saw it at Best Buy in a Blu-ray version with a digital-copy ! Thank you Best Buy for providing for sale the re-release of this Classic and at a Great Price ! Hope is a Good thing, perhaps the Best thing in Life !

I'll start off by saying that on my opinion the movie itself is 5 stars but I'm giving my rating based on the item itself. I've purchased steelbooks from other places numerous times and they've always included bluray,dvd as well as digital copy and ultraviolet copy well to my surprise when I received this steelbook it only contains one disc bluray and no digital copy's which is disappointing. I think that bestbuy needs more information in their movie descriptions because most movies I've purchased all you see is a picture of the cover and you are told if its dvd or bluray and thats about all
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
