Shawshank redemption??
It's movie based on the short story by Stephen King. Andrew Dufrense is a banker who is convicted of murdering his wife and her lover. He did have a gun and wanted to scare them off but decided against it the night they were murdered but can't prove it since he threw away the gun. He is sentenced to life at Shawshank prison run by a corrupt Catholic warden and his cohorts. There he makes friends with Morgan Freeman who plays Red a man convicted of murder and is spending a life term as well. Andy is a quiet man who is bullied and d by the 'sisters'. Eventually Andy tries to make a name for himself in the prison by setting up a library and helping guards do their taxes. While helping a new inmate get his GED, he learns that the inmate once bunked with Elmo Blatch a man who admitted killing Andys wife. Andy decides this is his way out and asks the warden for help, the warden refuses. I won't give it away after this but it's a wonderful story about friendship, redemption and loss.
