Synopsis for
Night on Earth (1991) More at IMDbPro »

Within the world, there are many different types of cities; within each city, there are many different types of people. Just as we all have our preconceived notion of what we think cities in different countries are like, we also have our stereotypes of every different kind of individual. The existence of these stereotypes is very evident in Jim Jarmuschs Night On Earth. The movie follows five different cab drivers picking up a passenger within five different major cities. With each excursion, the cab drivers and passengers learn something about each other, affecting the stereotype they had of the individual. Jarmusch does a wonderful job at portraying each city and the culture within it, as well as depicting the different types of individual cultures and mindsets within the large city.
