>Story
Before Miracle Mile was made, its production had been legendary in Hollywood for ten years.[3] In 1983, it had been chosen by American Film magazine as one of the ten best unmade screenplays.[3] Steve De Jarnatt wrote it just out of the American Film Institute for Warner Brothers with the hope of directing it as well. The studio wanted to make it on a bigger scale and did not want to entrust the project with a first-time director like De Jarnatt.[3]
Miracle Mile spent three years in production limbo until De Jarnatt optioned it himself, buying the script for $25,000.[3] He rewrote it and the studio offered him $400,000 to buy it back. He turned them down.[3] When he shopped it around to other studios, they balked at the mix of romance and nuclear war and the film's downbeat ending. This is what drew Anthony Edwards to the script as he remembers, "It scared the hell out of me. It really made me angry too...I just couldn't believe that somebody had written this."[3] John Daly of Hemdale Films gave De Jarnatt $3.7 million to make the film.
But the writer wanted to direct it himself, and he's very bad in those terms.
With a proper director AND with the respect of the original story that the writer gave it, would have been a fucking classic, not just an underground cult film as it is.

Really liked it. Anthony Edwards is perfect in the lead. The real miracle of this movie was how they kept the tense pacing throughout the movie, it never lets up.

Glad you made it out alive, fàm.
The director of Miracle Mile also did Cherry 2000
It's tense. It's weird. It's not afraid to do its own thing. I like it.

Was touch and go for real at some points, like with the cops at the gas station

The same director made Cherry 2000; its one of my favourite sci fi flicks about a man hiring a bounty hunter to go through a wasteland to find a replacement for his sex doll.
