For himself, he notices that, while at large, he was an honest man, and became a criminal only when he went to prison.

1947 Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins), the vice-president of a large bank, is being heard in a Maine court (USA), who is falsely accused of killing his wife and her lover. Dufresne does not admit his guilt, but cannot remember what he did on the night of the murder, as he was drunk. Shortly before the murder, Dufresne caught his wife in a scandal with another man, but refused his wife's request for a divorce. That same evening, the wife left home, intending to meet her lover, and Dufresne, having gone into a bar and consumed a fair amount of alcohol, went to the house where his wife went, but there was no one there, and he decided to wait for a couple on the spot; he had a revolver with him. After some time, he sobered up and, throwing the gun into the river, went home, and in the morning the maid found the bodies of his wife and her lover in this house; both victims were shot with a pistol. The gun that Dufresne threw into the river could not be found (if it were found, it would be possible to determine that the lovers were not shot with it); other circumstantial evidence also points to the guilt of the accused.
