The movie was about a man on death row, he was in the electric chair and a lightining storm hit causing the power to go out. The man was severely burnt , but didn't die. They couldn't re-execute him but the experience changed him from a bad man to a really good man. He earned the right to be on work release and while out one day saved the life of a woman by taking a bullet meant for her. This movie came out just shortly before The Green MIle.
