The Sunset Limited Synopsis
A deeply religious black ex-con thwarts the suicide attempt of an asocial white college professor who tries to throw himself in front of an oncoming subway train, 'The Sunset Limited.'

Locked in a philosophical debate, both passionately defend their personal credos and try to convert the other.
