Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning play of the same name by Cormac McCarthy, this two-character drama is both funny and sad as it looks at the relationship between two strangers who are forced to work together. The story takes place in a New York tenement apartment and is about two very different men. One is a black ex-con who is very religious and stops a white college professor from killing himself by throwing himself in front of a subway train called "The Sunset Limited." One tries to connect with the other on a logical, spiritual, and emotional level, while the other stays in his hard-earned despair. In the middle of a philosophical argument, both people passionately defend their own beliefs and try to change the other person's mind.
