The Shawshank Redemption (1994)

ITV4, 10.00PM ★★★★★

 If opinion polls are anything to go by, Frank Darabont’s adaptation of a Stephen King novella is one of the greatest films of all time. Tim Robbins stars as Andy, a man “wrongfully” sent to prison in Shawshank State for his wife’s murder. There he befriends fellow inmate Red (Morgan Freeman) and settles into life behind bars, while plotting possibly the most memorable prison break ever.
