Based on a Stephen King story, The Shawshank Redemption is a beautiful movie set almost entirely inside a prison, but its location has a few twists.
The Shawshank Redemption takes place almost entirely inside a prison, but both the place and its location might not be what it seems.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY In the movie, a successful banker, Andy, is framed for a double murder and gets a life sentence in prison. As years go by, he begins a new life in prison, making enemies along the way, as well as unusual friends, such as Morgan Freeman's Red, never losing his good heart and strong sense of hope.
Shawshank State Prison is a dangerous and corrupt place, a characteristic The Shawshank Redemption thoroughly highlights. In the movie, Andy falls victim to the prison's cold and corrupted warden, Samuel Norton , who uses the inmate's banker skills to launder money and does what he can to prevent the man from proving his innocence. Additionally, Andy witnesses and becomes the victim of multiple abuses and beatings due to the prison's low security.
The Shawshank Redemption Was Filmed In Ohio Since Shawshank State Prison is a fictional place created by Stephen King, another location was used as a stand-in. The Shawshank Redemption was filmed in Mansfield, Ohio, at the Ohio State Reformatory, which is no longer in operation and now gives tours. The prison was shuttered by the Supreme Court after allegations of inhumane conditions and overcrowding .
