Den grønne mil

Velkommen til Cold Mountain-fængslet, der er hjem for E-blokkens depressive mænd. De er alle dødsdømte mordere. Hver af dem afventer sin tur ad Den grønne mil til et stævnemøde med dødsgangens elektriske stol.
Fængselsbetjent Paul Edgecombe har oplevet mange mærkværdige mennesker i de år, han har arbejdet på Den grønne mil. Men han har aldrig før mødt en mand som John Coffey, der har en krop som en kæmpe og en hjerne som et barn. Han er dømt til døden for en forfærdelig, rå forbrydelse.
Men på dette sted, hvor alt håb lades ude, er Edgecombe ved at opdage den uhyggelige og vidunderlige sandhed om Coffey. En sandhed, der er en udfordring for hans hidtil faste tro på, hvad der er muligt og umuligt.
