A 25th anniversary history and celebration of The Shawshank
Redemption, one of the most cherished American films of the late
twentieth century and one of the finest movies made from a Stephen
King story. The movie not only boasts a great story, it has a great
backstory, starting with the dollar deal that eventually led King
and co-stars Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman to put their trust in a
largely untested director making his first feature film. Although
the film received mostly positive reviews on its release in
September 1994, the box office was disappointing and it failed to
win many awards. But as Andy tells Red in the film, "no good thing
ever dies." The movie found new life, reaching an ever-growing
audience on cable and home video (through word of mouth, it became
one of the top-rented movies of 1995). Each year, The Shawshank
Redemption rises in polls asking film fans to name their favorite
movies. It has become nothing less than this generation's The
Grapes of Wrath, an inspiring story about keeping hope alive in
bleak times and under the most horrendous conditions.
