In a Louisiana assisted-living home in 1999, Paul Edgecomb begins to weep while enjoying the 1935 film Stovepipe hat. His buddy Elaine ends up being worried and Paul explains to her that the movie reminded him of 1935, when he was a jail policeman, as well as accountable of fatality row and the state's electric chair.
In 1935, Paul manages Brutus "Brutal" Howell, Dean Stanton, Harry Terwilliger as well as Percy Wetmore at Cold Hill Stockade on just what they refer to as the "Eco-friendly Mile", Fatality Row. Paul, suffering from a serious bladder infection, obtains an incredibly huge, however psychologically challenged, black male, John Coffey, into his custody; John had actually been convicted of raping as well as murdering 2 little white girls. Percy shows a serious sadistic and also bullying streak, however is beyond reproach; he is the nephew of Louisiana's First Woman. He is particularly violent with prisoner Eduard "Del" Delacroix; he damages Del's fingers with his baton, actions on a family pet computer mouse identifieded as Mr. Jingles, which Del had embraced, repeatedly calls him by a gay slur, and also ultimately sabotages his execution by failing to soak the sponge utilized to conduct electrical energy to a condemned's head; Del's body takes off in flames and he dies shouting.
John starts to demonstrate mythological powers; he cures Paul's bladder infection, reanimates Mr. Jingles, and heals Melinda Moores, better half of the jail's chief warden, of a mind tumor. This last condition he releases into Percy, who under its influence shoots another detainee, William Wharton, dead. Wharton had from the moment of his arrival been a nuisance; he assaulted the guards as he was being accompanied into the block, made mischievousness on 2 celebrations later which created Paul to order him limited in the block's cushioned cell, groped Percy briefly, racially dishonored John, and revealed psychically to John that he remains in reality in charge of the criminal activity for which John was unjustly condemned. John after that discloses the story psychically to Paul, yet in so doing launches his mythological energy into Paul. Percy, at the same time, is dedicated to the crazy asylum which, ironically, Wharton had actually come from, as well as where he, Percy, was enthusiastic of producing a job.
John determines Paul, troubled over the notion of performing an innocent guy, that he carries out in fact desire to pass away, as he watches the globe as a harsh location. Mentioning that he had never ever in the past seen a film, John enjoys Top Hat with the other guards as a last request. That evening, John is consistently carried out, although he declines the normal hood, as he hesitates of the dark. Paul concludes his tale by telling Elaine that John's was the last implementation that either he or Brutus supervised; they both took tasks in the juvenile system.
Elaine recognizes that, since he had a grown son in 1935, Paul must be much older than he looks. Paul exposes that he is, actually, 108 years old, and also not only is he still to life, so is Mr. Jingles, the computer mouse. The finishing scene shows Paul as chief mourner at Elaine's graveside solution, 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 King book of the same name. The movie is told in a flashback style as well as celebrities Tom Hanks as Paul Edgecomb and also Michael Clarke Duncan as John Coffey with supporting parts by David Morse, Bonnie Hunt, and James Cromwell. The movie also showcases Dabbs Greer, in his last movie, as the old Paul Edgecomb. The movie determines the story of Paul's life as a death row adjustments police officer during the Great Anxiety in the United States, as well as the supernatural events he observed.
