The middle-aged man is dutiful and wishes to make the dying prisoners' last time as peaceful and smooth as possible. The staff on the death row have long since abandoned their moral scruples. For them, the prisoners are all guilty as one. John Coffey, however, differs markedly from the other criminals. He is gigantic and can barely fit into his cell. Coffey is found guilty of a double murder of two girls, but behind the giant's fearsome exterior lurks a timid and gentle man. Is he a cynical double-murderer or perhaps an angel sent by God?
