Preview:
In a Louisiana nursing home in 1999, Paul Edgecomb (Dabbs Greer) begins to mourn while watching the movie Top Hat. His older friend, Elaine, shows concern for him and Paul tells him that the movie reminded him of when he was a corrections officer in charge of death row at Cold Mountain Penitentiary in the summer of 1935. The Paul Hall (Tom Hanks) works in what is called the “Green Mile” by the guards because the prisoners condemned to walk for their implementation are said to be walking the “last mile”, here is a stretch of lime green linoleum fading in the electric chair.

One day, John Coffey (Michael Clarke Duncan), an African-American man convicted of raping and killing two young white girls arrives on death row. Coffey demonstrates all the characteristics of being ‘developmentally challenged’: keeping to himself, fearing darkness, and being moved to tears on occasion. Soon enough, John reveals extraordinary powers by healing Paul’s urinary tract infection and resurrecting a mouse. Later, he would heal the terminally-ill wife of Warden Hal Moores (James Cromwell), who suffered from a large brain tumor. When John is asked to explain his power, he merely says that he “took it back.”
