After Hours was directed by Martin Scorsese and released in 1985. It is one of his leaner black comedies, far removed from the gangster material many viewers associate with him.
What happens to Paul Hackett in After Hours?
Paul Hackett, played by Griffin Dunne, goes downtown in New York after meeting a woman and then gets trapped in a chain of increasingly strange events. The film turns a simple trip to SoHo into a nightmare of bad timing.

Yes. The film is strongly tied to 1980s downtown Manhattan, especially SoHo. Its nighttime setting is a major part of the movie's anxious comic tone.
