What happens

Into the Night is a 1985 American black comedy action thriller film directed by John Landis, starring Jeff Goldblum and Michelle Pfeiffer. The film focuses on insomniac aerospace engineer Ed Okin (Goldblum), who is approached by jewel smuggler Diana (Pfeiffer) whose life is in danger, on the run from several international foes. The film was a box office and critical failure, with critics noting that the large number of cameo appearances by Landis' friends and colleagues was unnecessary and distracting.
