Miracles happen in unexpected places even in the Death Row cell block at Cold Mountain Penitentiary. There John Coffey a gentle giant of a prisoner with supernatural powers brings a sense of spirit and humanity to his guards and fellow inmates. Tom Hanks leads a stellar ensemble (including Michael Clarke Duncan as Coffey) in this emotional uplifting story of guards and captives; husbands and wives; prisoners and a remarkable mouse named Mr. Jingles; and on another level of a moviemaker and his source. That filmmaker is Frank Darabont who returns after his 1994 directorial debut The Shawshank Redemption to adapt another tale by Stephen King into stirring crowd-pleasing entertainment nominated for four Academy Awards including Best Picture.
