s. Later in the night, under the pretense of buying a paperweight, Paul visits Marcy, taking a cab to her apartment. On his way to visit Marcy, a $20 bill is blown out the window of the cab, leaving him with only some spare pocket change. The cab driver is furious that he can't pay, thereby beginning the first in a long series of misadventures for Paul that turn hostile through no fault of his own. At the apartment Paul meets the sculptor Kiki and Marcy. It seems that a romance might develop between Paul and Marcy but he comes across a collection of photographs and medications which imply that Marcy is severely disfigured from burns on her legs and torso. As a result of this implication, and as a result of a strained conversation with Marcy, Paul abruptly slips out of the apartment. Paul later learns that Marcy is not disfigured and the significance of his earlier discovery is left as a mystery to the viewer.
Paul then attempts to go home by subway
, yet the fare has increased at the stroke of midnight and he finds that his pocket change is no longer sufficient to purchase a token. He goes to a bar. The owner, Tom Schorr (John Heard) cannot open the cash register
to help him. They exchange keys so Paul can go to Tom's place to fetch the cash register keys. On the way, he spots two burglars, Neil and Pepe (Cheech and Chong), with one of Kiki's sculptures. When he returns the sculpture to the apartment, he finds Marcy has committed suicide
while Kiki and a stout man named Horst (Will Patton
) have already left to go to Club Berlin, a nightclub
. Paul goes back to Tom's bar, finding Tom deeply in grief over the death of Marcy, who turns out to be Tom's girlfriend. On the way he meets two women, Julie (Teri Garr
) and Gail (Catherine O'Hara
), both of whom apparently like him at first but turn against him later. When he goes to the nightclub Kiki and Horst patronize, a collection of punk

. On the street Paul is mistaken for a burglar and is relentlessly pursued by a mob of local residents.
Paul finds Tom again, but the mob (with the assistance of Julie and Gail, with her Mister Softee
truck) chases Paul and he ultimately seeks refuge back at the Club Berlin, where he is helped by a woman named June (Verna Bloom
), also a sculptress, who protects him by pouring plaster on him in order to disguise him as a sculpture. However, she won't let him out of the plaster, which eventually hardens, trapping Paul in a position that resembles the character depicted in Edvard Munch

monologue that inspired the story.
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. After Hours was the first film of fiction directed by Scorsese in a decade without starring Robert De Niro

The dialogue between Paul and the doorman at Club Berlin is adapted from Kafka's "Before the Law
", a short story that is part of his novel The Trial
.
British director Michael Powell
was around quite a lot while the film was being made (he and editor Thelma Schoonmaker
married soon afterwards). Nobody was sure how the film should end. Michael Powell said "He must finish up back at work" but this was initially dismissed as too unlikely and difficult. They tried many other endings, a few were even filmed. But the only one that everyone felt really worked was to have Paul finish up back at work just as the new day was starting.

at the 1986 Cannes Film Festival
and allowed the director to take a hiatus from the tumultuous development of The Last Temptation of Christ
. It currently holds a 92% rating on Rotten Tomatoes
. Prominent film critic Roger Ebert
gave After Hours a positive review and a rating of four stars. He praised the film as one of the best in the year, and said it "continues Scorsese's attempt to combine comedy and satire with unrelenting pressure and a sense of all-pervading paranoia." He later added the film to his "Great Movies" list. In The New York Times, Vincent Canby
gave the film a mixed review and called it an "entertaining tease, with individually arresting sequences that are well acted by Mr. Dunne and the others, but which leave you feeling somewhat conned." The Motion Picture Association of America
gave the film an "R" rating.
later filed a lawsuit, claiming the screenplay lifted its plot setup and portions of dialogue, particularly in the first 30 minutes of the film, from his 1982 NPR Playhouse monologue "Lies". Though Frank never received official credit, he reportedly was "paid handsomely" in a settlement.
