In a Louisiana assisted-living home in 1999, Paul Edgecomb begins to weep while seeing the 1935 movie Stovepipe hat. His companion Elaine becomes concerned and Paul describes to her that the movie reminded him of 1935, when he was a jail officer, as well as in charge of death row and also the state's electrical chair.
In 1935, Paul oversees Brutus "Ruthless" Howell, Dean Stanton, Harry Terwilliger and also Percy Wetmore at Cold Mountain Penitentiary on exactly what they describe as the "Green Mile", Death Row. Paul, suffering from a serious bladder infection, receives an incredibly huge, but mentally tested, black man, John Coffey, into his wardship; John had been founded guilty of raping and also killing 2 little white girls. Percy demonstrates a severe vicious and bullying streak, yet is beyond reproach; he is the nephew of Louisiana's First Female. He is especially abusive with inmate Eduard "Del" Delacroix; he damages Del's fingers with his baton, actions on a family pet mouse named Mr. Jingles, which Del had embraced, consistently calls him by a gay slur, and inevitably undermines his execution by failing to soak the sponge used to carry out electricity to a condemned's head; Del's body explodes in flames and also he dies yelling.
John starts to show superordinary electrical powers; he treatments Paul's bladder infection, reanimates Mr. Jingles, and heals Melinda Moores, spouse of the jail's chief warden, of a mind growth. This last affliction he releases right into Percy, that under its impact fires one more detainee, William Wharton, dead. Wharton had from the minute of his arrival been a mischief-maker; he struck the guards as he was being escorted into the block, made mischievousness on two events later on which caused Paul to get him restrained in the block's padded cell, searched Percy briefly, racially insulted John, and revealed psychically to John that he is in truth responsible for the criminal offense for which John was unjustly condemned. John after that discloses the tale psychically to Paul, but in so doing releases his mythological energy into Paul. Percy, at the same time, is devoted to the insane asylum which, paradoxically, Wharton had come from, as well as where he, Percy, was hopeful of getting a job.
John determines Paul, troubled over the notion of performing an innocent male, that he carries out in fact desire to die, as he checks out the world as a terrible area. Mentioning that he had actually never ever previously seen a film, John watches Stovepipe hat with the various other guards as a last demand. That night, John is consistently performed, although he rejects the normal hood, as he is afraid of the dark. Paul concludes his story by telling Elaine that John's was the last execution that either he or Brutus managed; they both took jobs in the juvenile system.
Elaine recognizes that, given that he had a grown up child in 1935, Paul must be much older than he looks. Paul exposes that he is, in fact, 108 years of age, as well as not only is he still active, so is Mr. Jingles, the computer mouse. The finishing scene presents to Paul as primary mourner at Elaine's graveside service, as he muses that if John's electrical power could make a computer mouse live for as lengthy as Mr. Jingles has, how much longer does he himself have left? from the 1996 Stephen Master story of the same name. The film is told in a flashback format and also celebrities Tom Hanks as Paul Edgecomb as well as Michael Clarke Duncan as John Coffey with supporting functions by David Morse, Bonnie Hunt, and also James Cromwell. The film also includes Dabbs Greer, in his last film, as the old Paul Edgecomb. The movie determines the story of Paul's life as a fatality row adjustments police officer throughout the Great Anxiety in the USA, as well as the mythological occasions he saw.
The film was chosen for four Academy Awards: Best Supporting Actor for Michael Clarke Duncan, Ideal Image, Finest Sound, and also Finest Adjusted Screenplay.
