About Late for Dinner
Two young men, one in need of medical attention, are cryogenically frozen in the early 1960s. The two are preoccupied with the fact that the police are pursuing them to realise what they are doing. The next thing they know is that they are in a strange new world (thirty years on).
Directed by W.D. Richter, Late for Dinner leans on a strong ensemble — Peter Berg, Brian Wimmer, Marcia Gay Harden — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1991.
