Join us for a Father's Day special event celebrating the 25th anniversary of a modern American classic, a gripping story of hope and courage that has become one of the most beloved films of all time.
Don't miss a rare big screen showing of Frank Darabont's legendary adaptation of Stephen King's moving tale of friendship and redemption. Tim Robbins stars as a young banker falsely convicted of the murder of his wife and her lover, who faces unthinkable brutality as an inmate of Shawshank State Prison. Andy’s accounting skills and his friendship with a more experienced prisoner, Ellis Boyd 'Red' Redding (Morgan Freeman) helps keep him alive in the hostile setting. However, an unforgivable betrayal leads him to plot an impossible escape. For his directing debut, Darabont assembled a top-notch supporting cast with a memorable performance by the great James Whitmore as a longtime convict. Roger Deakins’ stark cinematography, Richard Francis-Bruce’s tense editing and Thomas Newman’s emotional score, all earned Oscar nominations. (USA, 1994, 142 Mins, R, English | Dir. Frank Darabont)
