The movie you're referring to is "The Shawshank Redemption." In the film, Morgan Freeman plays the character Ellis "Red" Redding, who was originally written as a Jewish character in Stephen King's novella. The role was initially offered to Walter Matthau before eventually being given to Freeman, which became iconic.
