The Sunset Limited

Award-winning actors, Samuel L. Jackson and Tommy Lee Jones, star in The Sunset Limited, a powerful 2011 drama revolving around two characters—referred to only as Black and White—who engage in a deep philosophical discussion on the human condition, focusing on faith, reason, suffering, and the essence of existence. The film centres on the clash of worldviews between a disillusioned professor who contemplates ending his life and a former convict turned devout Christian. The convict, filled with belief in a higher power, hopes to save the professor from his despair, while the professor, grounded in nihilism, challenges the foundations of meaning and purpose in life.

The film is based on a play of the same name by renowned American playwright, Cormac McCarthy.
