In 1935 in a southern prison, head guard Paul Edgecombe (Tom Hanks) thought he'd seen it all. Until he met John Coffey (Michael Clarke Duncan), a seven-foot, black inmate convicted of murder. He is on death row, or, as the other inmates call it, the Green Mile.

Coffey has been sentenced to death for murdering and raping two white girls, but Paul becomes unsure. Coffey had the size and strength to kill anyone, but not the demeanor. Beyond his simple, naive nature and a deathly fear of the dark, Coffey seemed to possess a prodigious, supernatural gift.

Coffey is a simple man with only simple aggression; he doesn't have the capability to kill.  But, strangely enough, he has the capability to heal.

Paul began to question whether Coffey was truly guilty of murdering the two girls.

The film stars Tom Hanks as a death row prison guard during the Great Depression who witnesses supernatural events following the arrival of an enigmatic convict (Michael Clarke Duncan) at his facility. David Morse, Bonnie Hunt, Doug Hutchison and James Cromwell appear in supporting roles.
