The following description comes from the event organizer.
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 L.A., fighting angry mobs of terrified people in desperate search for Julie (Winningham). Intrinsically tied to its moody, synthy Tangerine Dream score, this wholly singular brainchild of writer/director Steve De Jarnatt remains one of the best documents of the City of Angels in the late-1980s, and a fully formed bittersweet cult treat for those who like a little atomic annihilation sewn into their love-yearning yarns.
