The film involves only two nameless characters, designated "White" (played by Creator/TommyLeeJones) and "Black" (played by Creator/SamuelLJackson), their respective races. Just before this film begins, Black saves White from throwing himself in front of a train. The title "The Sunset Limited" is derived from the name of a passenger train that travels from New Orleans to Los Angeles. All of the action takes place in Black's sparse apartment, where the characters talk after their encounter on the platform. Black is an ex-convict and an evangelical Christian. White is an atheist and a professor. They debate the meaning of human suffering, the existence of God, and the propriety of White's attempted suicide.

* LargeHam: Par for the course with Creator/SamuelLJackson. It's particularly noticable during Black's "jailhouse story" where he aggressively gets into the retelling.

* BreakTheMotivationalSpeaker: Throughout the whole story, Black tries his damnedest to provide White with a motivation [[WorthLivingFor to keep on living]]. White breaks Black so thoroughly with his unrelenting nihilism that by the time he walks out of the room (presumably to try to kill himself successfully), Black is such [[DespairSpeech despair that he]] [[RageAgainstTheHeavens rages at God]] for this futility and maybe is starting his own road to killing himself as well.
