Miracle Mile (1988)
Director: Steve Dejarnatt
Writer: Steve Dejarnatt
In Miracle Mile, the End of the World is not the story but instead a deadline.
What starts as a sweet love story, bordering on routine Rom-Com suddenly descends into a real-time race against time, in a quest to reaffirm that love story.

"E. L. Doctorow once said that “writing a novel is like driving a car at night. You can see only as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.” You don’t have to see where you’re going, you don’t have to see your destination or everything you will pass along the way.
