After Hours
After Hours is a 1985 American black comedy film directed by Martin Scorsese, written by Joseph Minion, and produced by Amy Robinson, Griffin Dunne, and Robert F. Colesberry. Dunne stars as Paul Hackett, an office worker who experiences a series of misadventures while attempting to make his way home from New York City's SoHo district during the night. Hackett initially plans to visit a recent acquaintance at her shared apartment, but is soon disturbed by her strange behavior. After the acquaintance commits suicide, Hackett is the first person to discover the body. He tries to inform the woman's missing housemate, but he instead has hostile encounters with local punks and a lynch mob which blames him for a series of burglaries.
Plot
After a boring day at work, Paul Hackett, a computer data entry worker, meets Marcy Franklin in a local cafe in New York City. Marcy tells him that she is living with a sculptor named Kiki Bridges, who makes and sells plaster-of-Paris paperweights resembling cream cheese bagels, and leaves him her number.
