'Hoe zou het zijn, vroeg ik me af, om die laatste veertig meter naar de elektrische stoel te lopen, wetend dat je daar zult sterven? En hoe zou de man zich voelen die de veroordeelde op de stoel moet vastsjorren, of de man die de schakelaar overhaalt?' Stephen King Dit even fascinerende als lugubere uitgangspunt is de aanleiding geweest voor Stephen King om De Groene Mijl te schrijven. Plaats van handeling is de Cold Mountain-gevangenis. Een geïsoleerde gemeenschap van terdoodveroordeelden en hun bewakers. Wanneer op een dag de gevangene John Coffey arriveert, wordt het jarenlange vanzelfsprekende en dagelijkse ritme van eten, slapen, sleur, verveling en sterven doorbroken... Stephen Kings bestseller De Groene Mijl (The Green Mile) is verfilmd door Frank Darabont met Tom Hanks in de rol van de hoofdrollen.
