The Shawshank Redemption plot

The plot of the movie revolves around the life of a banker named Andy Dufresne, who has been accused of murdering his wife and her lover. Despite claiming to be innocent, he is sentenced to life in Shawshank State Prison where he befriends an inmate who has been in prison for 20 years.

Life at Shawshank prison is quite a cruel one where Andy falls in the trap of a gang called ‘The Sisters’ and gets sexually assaulted by them. In order to avoid them, Andy takes up a task on the roof of a factory. In the factory, he finds a guard complaining about some tax issue and, being a banker, he sees an opportunity to get protection from “The Sisters’ gang in return for helping the guard to avoid his taxes. Later in the story, a few other significant characters join in as prisoners who take the story ahead. Andy later becomes an influential person in a money-laundering scandal led by the prison warden.
