The Green Mile is a 1999 film adaptation of the novel of the same name by Stephen King. The film, directed by Frank Darabont, stars Tom Hanks as Paul Edgecomb, the head guard of a death row prison in Louisiana in 1935. One day, a new inmate arrives - a hulking black man named John Coffey (played by Michael Clarke Duncan), who has been convicted of brutally murdering two young girls.
As the days pass, Paul and his fellow guards begin to notice that John has a strange, otherworldly power - he can heal people's illnesses and injuries with a simple touch. Paul becomes convinced that John is innocent of the crimes he's been accused of, and his attempts to save John's life become the central focus of the film.
The Green Mile is a powerful story about redemption, forgiveness, and the nature of good and evil. It is known for its emotional performances, stunning cinematography, and its exploration of the complex moral issues surrounding the death penalty. The film was a critical and commercial success, and is considered one of the greatest adaptations of Stephen King's work.
