Defending Your Life [Criterion Collection]

An advertising executive gets into a terrible auto accident and awakens to find himself in heavenly Judgment City. There he learns he must meet with a bureaucratic panel and defend his existence. If he persuades them that he lived a productive life free from unnecessary fear, then he will be admitted into Heaven. If he fails, he must go back to Earth and try again. Since the executive had been a notoriously selfish coward during his earthly existence, he definitely has his work cut out for him.
