Miracle Mile
Miracle Mile is a 1988 thriller written and directed by Steve De Jarnatt and stars Anthony Edwards as a musician who, shortly after meeting the love of his life, randomly answers a ringing pay phone. Upon hearing that the government has launched a pre-emptive nuclear strike on the Soviet Union, he learns that there are now only 70 minutes before the Soviet missles arrive to destroy Los Angeles. The majority of the film occurs in real time and takes place on the "Miracle Mile" section of Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles.
The following weapons were used in the film Miracle Mile:
