The Crossing Guard Academy Award winner Jack Nicholson heads an outstanding ensemble cast, including David Morse, Anjelica Huston and Robin Wright, in The Crossing Guard , Sean Penn's powerful tale of two men on a collision course with fate.
Some men wait a lifetime to cross the line.
Some can't even wait another day. Booth took a life from Freddy, and Freddy won't rest until Booth pays. As the clock ticks towards their imminent confrontation, Freddy sorts out his relationship with his ex-wife, who has traveled a different path to cope with her ruined marriage, while Booth, struggling to justify his own right to go on living, finds solace in the gentle spirit of a young painter. A suspenseful tale of morality, ethics and heart-stopping pathos, The Crossing Guard counts down the final 72 hours in the battle of two extraordinary men. A crossing guard takes people who, either through immaturity or blindness, cannot find their way safely across the street on their own.
