Trending

The perfect coincidences through which Andy Dufresne escapes in The Shawshank Redemption make his getaway improbable. It does not clarify just how Andy would attach that poster so perfectly to cover his hole or how he crawls through the tunnel without guards noticing him. These details make it oddly smooth for Andy's escape, even though they give high emotional rewards for his freedom. While it doesn't do much to impede the film's impact, the simplicity of his plan is the biggest plot hole that stands out.
