Screening of the 1988 science fiction thriller Miracle Mile, directed by Steve De Jarnatt, as part of Hyperreal's Discovery Zone series.
Hyperreal Film Club is screening Miracle Mile on Monday, July 27, at their spot on Chicon Street. The showing is part of their Discovery Zone series, which looks at film production histories, so this isn't just a random movie night—it's one piece of a larger run of screenings.
Miracle Mile came out in 1988 and was directed by Steve De Jarnatt. He describes it as a fluffy John Hughes movie that descends into apocalyptic chaos, and that's a pretty good way to set the scene. The story follows Harry Washello, who meets the girl of his dreams and then answers a ringing pay phone to learn the world is ending in less than 70 minutes. From there, it's a race against the clock set against a pulsing Tangerine Dream soundtrack in downtown LA. If you're into 80s synth-heavy atmospheres and a plot that shifts from a romantic comedy into a disaster movie in real time, this is exactly that.
