- 6:45PM
Kathryn Bigelow’s dazzling sci-fi head-trip unfolds in the waning hours of the 20th century, as Ralph Fiennes’ black market hustler is swept up in a conspiracy involving a virtual reality psycho-killer. He’s aided by a tough-as-nails Angela Bassett, who’s more than just a sidekick—she’s one of the steeliest heroines of the 90s. Though overlooked upon its release, this visually propulsive masterwork has plenty of provocative points to make about the perennial issue of racist policing.
