directed by Frank Darabont and based on Stephen King’s novel, is a poignant and emotional drama set in a 1930s Southern prison. The film follows Paul Edgecomb (Tom Hanks), a death row corrections officer, who oversees a group of condemned men, including the mysterious John Coffey (Michael Clarke Duncan), a giant of a man with a childlike demeanor. Coffey is convicted of the brutal rape and murder of two young girls, but as Paul and his colleagues get to know him, they begin to suspect that Coffey may be innocent and possess extraordinary, supernatural healing powers.

The film weaves a narrative that explores themes of justice, compᴀssion, and the supernatural. As Paul and his team witness Coffey’s miraculous abilities, including healing a guard’s urinary infection and later saving a fellow inmate, they are torn between the legal system and their growing belief in Coffey’s innocence. Paul struggles with the moral dilemma of carrying out the death sentence on a man who may be a miraculous healer.

The Green Mile also delves into the lives of other death row inmates, showing their humanity and the emotional toll of living under the threat of execution. The film is known for its deep emotional resonance, with standout performances, particularly by Duncan, whose portrayal of Coffey earned widespread acclaim.
The Green Mile is a meditation on life, death, and the power of kindness, with a focus on the human capacity for both cruelty and compᴀssion. The film was nominated for several Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Supporting Actor for Duncan, and remains a beloved, heart-wrenching classic in cinema history.
