A social phenomenon in society as represented in a film can be analyzed from many different perspectives. One of the
theories that can be applied to do that is Giddens‟ structuration theory. It emphasizes on the duality of structure meaning that
agency is inseparable from structure and both affect each other. It consists of three-tiered dimensions, namely the structure of
signification, domination, and legitimation, and the interaction that agents carry out in the form of communication, power and
sanction mediated by the modality of interpretive scheme, facility, and norm. This paper will analyze the interplay of agency
and structure in the film Shawsank Redemption through the characters of Andy, Red, Brooks, Captain Hadley, and Warden
Norton. The analysis result shows that the agents in the film indeed can make some changes on the structure, by only
reproducing or transforming it.
