The stellar new 4K restoration of Martin Scorsese's cult classic crime comedy.

What if that date you thought would never end, didn’t?

When an uptown New Yorker innocently meets a downtown girl, he’s uncontrollably drawn into a vortex of wild, malevolent and paranoid adventures After Hours.

Paul Hackett’s terrible night happens in the SoHo area of downtown Manhattan when he goes to keep a date with Marcy.

Nothing in his humdrum life as a word processor has prepared him for his surreal encounters with Marcy; her far-out artist roommate Kiki; cocktail waitress Julie; ice cream vendor Gail; and June, who lives in the basement of a nightclub.

Now, Paul longs only for the safety of his upper-East Side apartment … but will he ever make it home?

★★★★ Armed with numerous stylistic touches and a noir sensibility, After Hours is a dark comedy that has the feel of a nightmare where nothing goes right and trouble can suddenly occur out of nowhere. ~ AllMovie.

★★★★ It's weird, wonderful and wildly funny, and Scorsese won the best director prize at Cannes for his efforts. ~ Radio Times.
