Imprisoned in the 1940s for the double murder of his wife and her lover, upstanding banker Andy Dufresne begins a new life at the Shawshank prison, where he puts his accounting skills to work for an amoral warden.

Editor's Notes

Note

A-Tier Warner Bros. 4K. People who thought it looked flat on DVD and Blu-ray say the 4K is the first version that really looks right. The Film Vault steelbook has nice artwork and gets talked about a lot. More of a film that just looks like film for the first time on home video than a flashy demo disc.
