Tim Matheson

Over the course of one night, a woman drives across Los Angeles with her brother, who is addicted to heroin, in search of a detox center.

Steven Spielberg directs this riotous farce depicting the hysteria of a cross section of Los Angeles citizens following the bombing of Pearl Harbor. The film is loosely based on a true event in which a Japanese submarine surfaced off the California coast, setting off a brief wave of panic.
