We present a mathematical framework for generating thick domain wall solutions to the coupled Einstein-scalar field equations which are (locally) plane symmetric. This approach leads naturally to two broad classes of wall-like solutions. The two classes include all previously known thick domain walls. Although one of these classes is static and the other dynamic, the corresponding Einstein-scalar equations share the same mathematical structure independent of the assumption of any reflection symmetry. We also exhibit a class of thick static domain wall spacetimes with different asymptotic vacua. Our analyses of particle motion in such spacetimes raises the interesting possibility that static domain walls will possess a unique experimental signature.
