After Hours is an American comedy thriller film released in 1985, directed by Martin Scorsese and written by Joseph Minion. It depicts a New Yorker, word processor Paul Hackett (Griffin Dunne), who experiences a series of adventures and perils in trying to make his way home from SoHo.

Trivia

• The film was originally to be directed by Tim Burton, but Scorsese read the script at a time when he was unable to get financial backing to complete The Last Temptation of Christ, and Burton gladly stepped aside when Scorsese expressed interest in directing.
• The dialog between Paul and the doorman at Club Berlin is taken from Kafka's "Before the Law", a short story that is part of his novel The Trial.
