It\u2019s easy to hope that The Shawshank Redemption<\/a><\/strong> <\/em>was based on a true story.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s probably because of the \u201credemption\u201d part. In the end, it\u2019s a beautiful story. Friendship and optimism conquer an unforgiving system. A fraction of independence is metered out thanks to perseverance, determination, and the single-minded use of a remarkably durable rock hammer. <\/p>\n

Looked at from another point of view, though, finding out that the 1994 motion picture classic was based in truth would be an absolute nightmare. Think of all the characters that you\u2019d have to accept as actual human beings. Think of the terror and the loneliness. Think of how many guys would\u2019ve fallen off of that roof after drinking their first beer in a decade. <\/p>\n

So, 30 years after its release, and the better part of a century after the beginning of the story\u2019s setting, is The Shawshank Redemption <\/em>based on real life?<\/p>\n

The realities around The Shawshank Redemption<\/em><\/h2>\n
