The Green Mile is a 1999 American epic fantasy drama film written and directed by Frank Darabont and based on the 1996 novel by Stephen King. In 1935, during the Great Depression, corrections officer Paul Edgecomb oversees The Green Mile, the death row section of Cold Mountain Penitentiary, alongside other officers, including the sadistic and despised Percy Wetmore, whose connections to the state governor shield him from repercussions. The guards supervise three prisoners: Eduard Delacroix, whom Percy frequently torments; the violent and erratic William Wild Bill Wharton; and John Coffey, a hulking yet gentle and simple-minded man convicted of murdering two girls. After Coffey's arrival, Paul witnesses supernatural events at his facility. Tom Hanks stars as Paul Edgecomb and Michael Clarke Duncan as John Coffey, with David Morse, Bonnie Hunt, James Cromwell and Michael Jeter also in the cast. The Green Mile was released by Warner Bros. in the United States on December 10, 1999, to positive reviews from critics, who praised Darabont's direction and writing, its emotional weight and the performances, particularly those of Hanks and Duncan, although its length received some criticism. It was nominated for four Academy Awards: Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor for Duncan, Best Sound and Best Adapted Screenplay.
