Miracle Mile (1988)
What would you do if you knew you only had an hour to live? This intense, eerily euphoric romantic thriller stars Anthony Edwards and Mare Winningham in a frighteningly plausible story that yanks you by the lapels and draws you into a high-velocity roller coaster.
After 30 years of searching, Harry (Edwards) has finally met the girl of his dreams. Unfortunately, before they even have a chance to go on their first date, Harry intercepts some chilling news: WWIII has begun and nuclear missiles will destroy Los Angeles in less than an hour! Not sure if this is a prank or an omen, Harry races through LA, fighting angry mobs of terrified people in a desperate search for Julie (Winningham).
Steve de Jarnatt (Cherry 2000) stylishly directed this cult-classic that features a top-notch cast that includes John Agar, Lou Hancock, Mykelti Williamson, Kurt Fuller, and Denise Crosby.
