Miracle in the Green Mile was a 1999 American mystery film adapted from Stephen King's novel. The story took place in 1935 in the Cold Mountain Prison in the southern United States. There was a green space in the prison called the Green Mile, and on the other end of the green space was an electric chair for execution. Prison warden Paul (Tom Hanks) worked here, and he was already numb to the execution process of death row prisoners. However, when the murderer John Coughley (Mike Clark Duncan) arrived at the prison, his arrival brought a huge change to the people in prison.
John was not as cruel as people imagined. On the contrary, he was gentle and witty. He injected the strength of life into Trevor, the old prisoner, and brought comfort to Trevor's last life. He magically saved Paul and Miranda, who were tortured by illness. He pulled Kimbous back from the hands of death. These days, Paul saw the true meaning of life from John.
The Miracle of the Green Mile began with Paul's recollection of the execution process of the death row prisoners, and told a story about the meaning of life through flashbacks. The film was released on December 10, 1999. It was directed by Frank Drabant and starred Tom Hanks, David Moss, and Mike Clark Duncan.
The Green Mile is strictly a work of fiction. The story and its elements were crafted to entertain and engage readers/viewers, not to represent actual happenings in the real world.
