Set on Death Row in a Southern prison in 1935, "The Green Mile" is the big-screen adaptation of Stephen King's 1996 bestselling serialized novel. It is the remarkable story of a prison guard who develops a poignant, unusual relationship with one inmate who possesses a magical gift that is both mysterious and miraculous.

Two-time Academy Award-winner TOM HANKS stars as Paul Edgecomb, the Death Row head guard who relates in flashback a mystical account about his tour of duty at Cold Mountain Penitentiary and his watch over a quartet of convicted killers awaiting execution in the electric chair.
