I recently watched some of Escape from Alcatraz and saw many similarities with the Shawshank Redemption. I guess Stephen King used Escape from Alcatraz as a reference point. And why not? It is a great movie.
For me, The Shawshank Redemption means hope. Andy's fight during his time inside the prison shows his eternal hope, and determination to never stop. During my life I have found myself in situations I do not want, and cannot easily change or resolve. I often watched and thought of the movie, which gave me the hope to continue to times when things had changed. I am now a very happy person, guiding my life to new directions everyday.
