Shawshank Redemption's Ending Plot Hole Addressed By Star Tim Robbins 30 Years After Release

One infamous Shawshank Redemption "plot hole" questions how Andy pinned up the Raquel Welch poster behind him as he escaped. According to Tim Robbins, the "easy" solution is that Andy pinned only the top half of the poster before crawling underneath. The Shawshank Redemption is one of the best Stephen King adaptations ever due to its exploration of friendship, freedom, and incarceration.
The Shawshank Redemption star Tim Robbins addresses the movie's infamous plot hole 30 years later. Directed by Frank Darabont and based on a novel by Stephen King, The Shawshank Redemption stars Robbins as Andy Dufresne, a man serving two life sentences in Shawshank prison after being falsely accused of killing his wife and her lover. The film, which also stars Morgan Freeman as fellow inmate Red, is widely celebrated today for its strong performances and themes, but one aspect of the film involving Andy's Raquel Welch poster has long been deemed a "plot hole.
