You can get busy living, or get busy dying. Or you could get busy and head to the 25th anniversary celebration of The Shawshank Redemption, a celebration of one of the most popular films of all-time being held in Ohio Aug. 16-18.
The 1994 film was shot in and around Mansfield, Ohio, and that location will be filled with fans and some cast members, touring the spots captured in the film. For those who haven’t had access to television or a theater in the last several decades, The Shawshank Redemption tells the story of banker Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins), sentenced to life in Shawshank State Penitentiary for the murder of his wife and her lover, despite claiming innocence. He befriends a fellow prisoner, Ellis “Red” Redding (Morgan Freeman). Dufresne becomes involved in a money-laundering scheme run by the warden, but manages to turn the tables with a few twists and manages to escape the prison.
