Red and his friends bet on whichever new fish will have a nervous break down during his first night in prison. An alarm goes off alerting all prisoners of new arrivals. Red is then introduced as the local smuggler who can get inmates anything they want within reason.

Andy keeps claiming his innocence, but his cold and calculating demeanor leads everyone to believe he did it.

In 1947, Andy Dufresne ( Tim Robbins), a banker in Maine, is convicted of murdering his wife and her lover, a golf pro.
