Although there are many similar plots between the two movies, there are different narratives between the two stories.

The feeling of "Shawshank's Redemption" is also very simple and rude, but "Shawshank's Redemption" shows more connotation and depth, enriching a lot of heart plots and becoming more memoir.
The ending of "Escape from Yakara" did not describe whether the three successfully escaped from prison or died coldly in the sea, leaving the audience with a whimsical ending.
"Shawshank's Redemption" ends with a successful escape from prison. The hope that the male protagonist has always cherished is finally realized on his own, giving the audience a sense of vigilance and punishment.
Both movies are classics, and they are worth watching and learning.
