Miracle Mile (1988)



Released May 19th in the US.
Filmed entirely in California.
The story : Harry meets Julie , who he believes is the girl of his dreams.
The two spend lots of time together on the day of their meeting until Julie has to go to work at a local diner.
They agree to meet up again after Julie gets off of work later on that night.
But Harry over sleeps and goes to the diner looking for her about 3 hours late.
While trying to contact Julie via pay phone , the phone rings.
Believing it is Julie calling him right back , Harry answers the phone.
Instead of it being Julie on the other end of the line , Harry hears the ramblings of a young Chip.
Chip goes on and on , claiming to be inside of a missile silo in North Dakota and that within a couple hours a nuclear war will touch down in Orange County , California.
Harry gets completely shook by listening in on what then happens to Chip and then proceeds to go inside the diner.
He begins questioning everyone inside if they have any idea who Chip is and after actually getting their attention , tells them all what Chip warned would happen.
Only the owner of the diner and a business woman patron find any truth in what Harry tells them.
They all begin preparing to head straight out of town with no time to lose but Harry just cannot leave without Julie.
