 With
a budget of approximately $100 Million (a huge amount in pre-Titanic
Hollywood), Last Action Hero was a critical and commercial failure
when it was released in the summer of 1993. Its reputation has improved over the
years, with its "Hollywood insider" satire developing a cult
following. The story centers on a youngster
named Danny (Austin O'Brien) who magically gets inside a movie featuring
his idol Slater (Arnold Schwarzenegger). A roster of distinguished
actors are in the cast, including F Murray Abraham, Art Carney, Charles
Dance, Anthony Quinn, Mercedes Ruehl, Joan Plowright, Tina Turner, Danny
DeVito, and Ian McKellen.
