Sinopsis
En el sur de los Estados Unidos, en plena Depresión, Paul Edgecomb es un vigilante penitenciario a cargo de la Milla Verde, un pasillo que separa las celdas de los reclusos condenados a la silla eléctrica. Esperando su ejecución está John Coffey, un gigantesco negro acusado de asesinar brutalmente a dos hermanas de nueve años. Tras una personalidad ingenua, Coffey esconde un don sobrenatural prodigioso. A medida que transcurre la historia, Paul Edgecomb aprende que los milagros ocurren... incluso en los lugares más insospechados.
