WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
On a subway platform in New York City, an ex-con from the south saves the life of an intellectual atheist who wasn't looking for salvation. Now, the reformed murderer-turned-savior ventures to offer salvation of another kind, bringing the failed suicide victim back to his Harlem apartment for an articulate and moving debate about truth, fiction, and belief that only Cormac McCarthy (novelist, All the Pretty Horses) could pen. The Sunset Limited features preformances by Austin Pendleton and Freeman Coffey.

However. pains are made by McCarthy -- best known as the novelist of All the Pretty Horses -- to jazz up that point of view as much as possible by making that character a former prison inmate who once had murder in his eyes.
