The Shawshank Redemption ending / spoiler
Andy escapes by slowly digging through his cell wall with his rock hammer (20 years!). The hole is behind the Rita Hayworth poster. Afterwards, Andy withdraws all the money he embezzeled for the warden from the bank. He's able to do so because the account is in the name of the false identity he created. Following this he exposes Shawshank for all the corruption that went on in the prison. The warden kills himself and the head guard is arrested. Red is finally paroled and after a short stay at the halfway house, travels to Mexico with the money that Andy left buried for him at the stone wall up in Buxton. Final shot is a slow overhead zoom-out of Andy climbing down from his old boat he's working on to greet Red who is walking up the Mexican beach in his bare feet. The two men hug.
