I picked this film to watch because of Mykelti Williamson, he was in two episodes of Miami Vice and I now want to watch all his films, In this movie he plays a very funny but short part. His performance is worth 4 stars. The movie itself is about a man who takes a call at a phone... read more

Dream-like story of a man's attempt to escape from a nuclear missile attack on LA. Plus a Tangerine Dream soundtrack.

This movie came on in the middle of the night and scared the hell out of me. Partially because it was so deranged and I couldn't figure out what it was and why I had never heard of it.

What would you do if you knew the world was going to end in a few hours? What would you do if you were the ONLY one who knew it? When Anthony Edwards picks up a ringing payphone late one night, he hears a panicked voice on the other side telling him that the missles are flying. N... read more

very interesting premise..but sooo poorly exectued! This seems like a made-for-tv-movie, and comes across as being amteurish, starting from the cast, the acting and the script...with the right actors and a rewrite of the story, this film would be prime for a remake...disappoin... read more

Maybe I just wasn't that into this movie, but for me it lacked just about everything.
I like the two main stars, but for me they couldn't even make this "ok".
It was an interesting concept, but so much of it was plain stupid, and most of the acting was bad, and the directing was ... read more -

With the cold war over, this really doesn't stand the test of time. However, when it came out, it was chilling to think about.
A man who is late for his date answers a pay phone. It's a soldier in a missle silo saying the bombs are going and they're going to hit in a certain a... read more -

Decent enough nuclear thriller staring Gilbert of Revenge of the Nerds aka Anthony Edwards.
A good amount of the film is spent running around in what felt like circles. But the film managed to keep my attention and the ending was unexpected. I liked it enough, even though it re... read more

Fabulous.
nightmareous
Holy God, somebody showed me this depressing on my birthday long ago. I decided afterwards they didn't like me very much.
Ridiculous nuclear holocaust tale
A magnificent movie.....you'll never forget it...Anthony Edwards is amazing
ethereal and memorable
Surprisingly good little film, if too bleak to be any fun.
A strikingly original, if relentlessly bleak, nuclear thriller.
A low-key and unsettling look at one possible armageddon.
