Miracle Mile

Harry (Anthony Edwards) meets Julie (Mare Winningham) by chance at the La Brea Tar pits and the unashamedly nerdy couple start dating. He's due to meet her after her late shift at a diner but his own carelessness causes a power cut at his hotel and he oversleeps by hours.

He rushes there but she's long gone so calls her from the payphone outside. Unable to get any answer he's stressed and when the phone rings he grabs it assuming it's Julie calling back.

Instead it's a terrified young soldier who's dialled a wrong number trying to speak to his father. He claims that in 50 minutes World War III will start and just wants to speak to his father one last time before everyone dies.

Unsure if it's real or a prank Harry tells the diner patrons about this and resolves to collect Julie and flee Los Angeles.

No good will come of this.

K-Pop Demon Hunters

Rumi (Arden Cho/Ajae), Mira (May Hong/Audrey Nuna) and Zoey (Ji-young Yoo/Rei Ami) make up Huntrix: the biggest K-pop band in the world. When they're not wowing audiences they have much more important work to do: maintaing the Honmoon, a magical barrier that deters demons from entering this world and slaying the few that do make it through in battle.

Their huge fan base means the Honmoon is on the verge of becoming 'golden' and forever sealing the demons away.

However the demon Jinu has a plan: a demon Boy Band to fight Huntrix for that fan base.

Wag the Dog

When it seems PotUS is about to be implicated in a sex scandal a mere 11 days before election day a group of aides including Winifred Ames (Anne Heche) bring in spin doctor Conrad Breane (Robert De Niro).

Breane decides nothing short of a war can keep this out of the news and he knows just the person to stage that war: Hollywood producer Stanley Motss (Dustin Hoffman).

Lone Star

Human remains are found on a disused US Army rifle range near the border town of Frontera, Texas by a couple of friends hunting for old shell cases to turn into art pieces. When a Sheriff's badge and masonic ring are found nearby Sheriff Sam Deeds (Chris Cooper) concludes they belong to former Sheriff Charlie Wade (Kris Kristofferson).

Sheriff Wade was famously corrupt, violent and racist, disappearing one night in the late 1950s at the same time as $10k of town funds went missing.

The general assumption at the time was Sam's own recently deceased father and then Sheriff's deputy, Buddy Deeds (Matthew McConaughey) ran Wade out of town. Buddy took up the role and ushered in an era of relative probity and is considered a local hero, but not by Sam.

Three Days of the Condor

Joe Turner (Robert Redford) is a researcher at a CIA office in New York which analyses published material for odd patterns or interesting ideas. It's specialised work and for its time highly automated with computers whirring away.

He calls it in but gets into a panicked state waiting for a safe pickup and things go downhill from there.

Klute

Senior executive Tom Gruneman disappears unexpectedly and after six months the Police turn up nothing.

Unsatisfied with this, Tom's colleague Peter Cable (Charles Cioffi) pays their mutual friend and detective John Klute (Donald Sutherland) to investigate.

The only lead is some obscene letters written to a New York call girl Bree Daniels (Jane Fonda) that seem out of character. She gave little to the Police so Klute travels to NY and begins to follow her and record her phone calls to get leverage on her.
