Rhett 1927 was sentenced to life imprisonment for murder, and his parole failed several times. He has become an important figure in Shawshank prison. As long as he can afford it, he can get almost anything he wants: cigarettes, candy, wine and even marijuana. Rhett began to pay attention to Andy the first time he saw him. From the beginning, I felt that he was fragile, and later I was impressed.

Andy is a very capable person. Because of the banker, he is proficient in financial system knowledge, has helped many prison guards to deal with tax issues, and has also made his reputation grow bigger and bigger. Finally, he laundered money for Warden Norton. Meanwhile, Andy is actively planning the expansion of the library. In order to raise money, Andy kept writing to the state legislature, and finally applied for a small sum of money for the prison library, which was the result of his unremitting efforts.

Andy is busy living in prison. Just then, the arrival of a young prisoner broke his original quiet life. He told Andy the shocking news that his wife had been murdered. However, when Andy asked the warden to report the case and tried to retry the case, he was flatly rejected and was severely punished by solitary confinement for one month. In order to prevent Andy from being released, the warden did not hesitate to design and kill the young prisoner.

Facing the cruel reality, Andy became very depressed, and he recognized everything in front of him. He said to Rhett, "If you can get parole one day, you must go somewhere to realize a wish for me. That's where I proposed to my wife, and I dug a box under a big oak tree there. I have something for you. " It was stormy and thunderous that night, and Andy, who was redeemed by his soul, successfully escaped from prison.
