Hi
I watched either an episode of twilight zone or outer limits ( I am pretty sure it was TZ ) couple of years ago on TV,and I can't find it anyhwere in either TZ or outer limits episode guide.
So I writing here,maybe someone will recognise the plot and tell me what is that I watched
Basically it goes something like this...a man dies,and then he is like on a trial to determine if he has managed to defeat fear in his life...if he is,he get to travel to "another plane" or something..to a better world..if he is not,he is returned to earth to re-live his life again and again untill he manages not to feel fear anymore...at the end,"the judges" detemine he still feels the fear,and he is to be returned to earth.He boards something which looks like a train or something.There are 2 vehicles,trains,call it what you will,one for earth and one for that another place.Finally,the main hero defeats the fear he felt the whole life and jumps from his train to another...
If anybody could help me here,to tell me what is it what I watched,which episode and of what show,that would be great

Thanks in advance !

I believe it's a movie called "defending your Life". It starred Ablert Brooks & Meryl Streep. Brooks is on the train that is taking him back to earth and Streep is on the train that is taking her to heaven. He defeats his fear by jumping off his train going getting on hers. It also starred Rip Torn.
