About This Movie

Miracle Mile is a wild ride that blends action, comedy, and drama in a way that's hard to pin down. Steve De Jarnatt's direction creates this tense, almost surreal atmosphere as Harry, played by Anthony Edwards, rushes through the LA night after receiving news of impending nuclear doom. The film's pacing is frenetic, but it captures that raw panic and urgency perfectly. The performances, especially from Mare Winningham, ground the story amidst the chaos. And those practical effects? They add a gritty authenticity that you just don't see much anymore. The themes of love and fate interwoven with the madness of the apocalypse make it distinct. It's a cult classic that leaves you with a lot to think about long after the credits roll.
