Motherboard | The 80s Cult Classic Envisioning the Final Hour Before Nuclear Apocalypse @Motherboard | Uploaded May 2017 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
In this episode of Future Shock, Motherboard speaks to Steve De Jarnatt, writer and director of Miracle Mile, a "missiles in the air" doomsday sci-fi thriller from 1988 set in Los Angeles, as the country preps for nuclear annihilation.
