A young man meets and falls in love with a young woman at the La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angeles. This area is known as Miracle Mile, and the whole movie takes place there.

He frantically searches for her so that they can escape Los Angeles.

Editorial

Why Eltorama recommends this film

A man takes a wrong phone call in a diner and learns the nukes launch in 70 minutes. The whole film runs in real time across Los Angeles at dawn. Tangerine Dream's score is panic distilled into voltage. One of the great underseen American films of the 1980s.
