Miracle Mile is championed by devoted fans, but has escaped being lumped in with other sci-fi films from the 1980s.
That uniqueness is what has made it a true cult film. It hinges on one of the most startling tonal switches ever captured on screen. It starts out as a twee rom-com in which a nerdy musician and a waitress meet and fall in love in downtown LA – until a wrong-number call informs them that a nuclear war has broken out, with Soviet missiles due to hit the city in 70 minutes.
Much of the movie’s diabolical effectiveness comes from the fact that it never reveals, until the very end, whether the nightmare is real, or only some sort of tragic misunderstanding. 35mm - the only way to experience this one of a kind movie.
