The Shawshank Redemption actually retells the resurrection of Jesus Christ. After Andy's escape, Red and others look for Andy's dead body just like the disciples went to look for Jesus. As the prison guard said; “Oh my holy god”. ... He might be the only hope in the prison, since he is the only innocent one.
The Shawshank Redemption in a way illustrated the power of hope, which serves as the primary theme of the film.
Special guest appearances from Will Hunting, Vito Corleone & Forrest Gump.
