Where to watch:
Section 1
Before you watch the movie!
Let’s start by watching the trailer. Enjoy!
- Now, based on the trailer and your knowledge, which of the 3 plots below is the correct one?
Option 1:
Inside the walls of the Shawshank prison, a friendship between 2 convicts is born. In an attempt to escape from jail, they will cause a necessary but very dangerous rebellion.
Sorry. That’s not it. There is no mention of a rebellion or anything like that.
Option 2:
A successful banker is arrested for the murders of his wife and her lover, and is sentenced to life imprisonment at the Shawshank prison, where he becomes a very unconventional prisoner.
That’s correct! Get ready to watch one of the best movies of all time!
Option 3:
A prison Warden is responsible for the Shawshank prison. One day he receives a prisoner who is about to change the history of the whole prison with his energy, enthusiasm, and charisma.
Not this time. The movie is not about the warden, and the prisoner is not that energetic.
