Adapted from Stephen King’s 1996 novel, The Green Mile is a three-hour drama/fantasy film focused on death row guard Paul Edgecomb (Tom Hanks) and John Coffey (Michael Clarke Duncan), a giant inmate with supernatural healing abilities convicted of a heinous crime. The film explores the moral complexities of the guards and the innocence of Coffey despite his intimidating presence.
Michael Clarke Duncan, in his breakout role, is unforgettable as John Coffey. His performance captures a giant's physical power and a pure soul's vulnerability. The supporting cast is equally stellar: Sam Rockwell as the truly sadistic and unhinged prisoner "Wild Bill" Wharton, and Doug Hutchison as Percy Wetmore, a cruel, cowardly guard whose sadism and racism represent the worst of humanity. the green mile mmsub
