- Matthew, a young schizophrenic, finds himself out on the street when a slumlord tears down his apartment building. Soon, he finds himself in even more dire straits, when he is threatened by Little Leroy, a thug who is one of the tough denizens of the Fort Washington Shelter for Men. He reaches out to Jerry, a streetwise combat veteran, who takes Matthew under his wing as a son. The relationship between these two men grows as they attempt to conquer the numbing isolation of homelessness.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Sympathetic performances from Danny Glover and Matt Dillon somewhat compensate for the mildness of the material, but can't disguise the fact that the film has very little to say about a major societal problem."
-
"Whatever its shortcomings, 'The Saint of Fort Washington' takes its subject very seriously, in ways that no audience can fail to find wrenchingly sad."
-
"Though something of a failure in its own terms, this social-conscience movie does produce a strong emotional tug"
