The catalogue in 3D
The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
Iron Eagle is a 1986 action film directed by Sidney J. Furie, who co-wrote the screenplay with Kevin Alyn Elders, and starring Louis Gossett Jr., Jason Gedrick, David Suchet and Tim Thomerson. It is the first installment of the Iron Eagle film series and was followed by three sequels: Iron Eagle II, Aces: Iron Eagle III and Iron Eagle on the Attack, with Gossett being the only actor to appear in all four films. The film was released by TriStar Pictures on January 17, 1986. Iron Eagle was unfavorably compared to the similarly-themed Top Gun released the same year, but proved a commercial success.
