Warden Samuel Norton from, The Shawshank Redemption, at first glance seems like a very respectful and honorable man. He is quite fair with the hero of the film, Andy Dufresne: a man wrongfully accused of murdering his wife and her lover. He is well versed in the Bible and is God fearing, but maybe not too much. In truth he is a corrupt, emotionless man who sees dollar signs with Andy. Andy is a well trained banker and helps keep track of Shawshank Prison's finances, but also launders the money for Norton's personal gain.
SPOILER ALERT: And when Andy actually has a chance of getting out of Shawshank, based on a confession one of the prisoners heard from another, Norton has Andy put in solitary and the confessional prisoner killed.
