Das Shawshank Gefängnis in den 30ern: der wegen Mordes an seiner Frau verurteilte Andy Dufresne kommt als Neuling lebenslänglich hinter Gittern.

Langsam aber sicher freundet er sich mit dem Langzeitinsassen Red an, baut die Gefängnisbibliothek auf und rückt nie von seiner Überzeugung ab, unschuldig zu sein. Viele Jahre vergehen, bis etwas geschieht, was sogar Reds Leben für immer verändern wird...
