Different Seasons begins with "Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption," in which an unjustly imprisoned convict seeks a strange and startling revenge - the basis for the Best Picture Academy Award nominee The Shawshank Redemption. Next is "Apt Pupil," the inspiration for the film of the same name about top high school student Todd Bowden and his obsession with the dark and deadly past of an older man in town. In "The Body," four rambunctious young boys plunge through the facade of a small town and come face-to-face with life, death, and intimations of their own mortality. This novella became the acclaimed movie Stand by Me. Finally, a disgraced woman is determined to triumph over death in "The Breathing Method."
