Defending Your Life is a 1991 comedy fantasy movie about the afterlife. The film was written, directed and stars Albert Brooks.

Plot

Brooks plays a man who dies and is sent to the afterlife. He arrives in a city where he is put "on trial for being afraid." People from Earth use so little of their brains (3-5%) that they spend most of their lives dealing with their fears. If the court determines he has conqured his fears he will be sent on to the next world where he will be able to use more of his brain. Otherwise, his soul will return to earth (again) to live another life. His wisecracking lawyer is played by Rip Torn and the prosecutor is Lee Grant. While on trial, he meets and falls in love with a woman (Streep) who lived a seemingly perfect life compared to his. Shirley MacLaine, known for her beliefs about reincarnation, has a cameo appearance as herself at the "Past Lives Pavalion".
