About this movie

2019, After the Fall of New York, also known simply as After the Fall of New York is a 1983 Italian science fiction film directed by Sergio Martino in both English and Italian. The film belongs to the post-apocalyptic Italian genre similar to the films 1990 The Bronx Warriors and Endgame. It is set in 2019, after a nuclear apocalypse, and stars a mercenary out to rescue the last fertile woman on Earth. The film starred Michael Sopkiw, Valentine Monnier, Anna Kanakis, and B-movie regular George Eastman.
The film was influenced by John Carpenter's Escape from New York and George Miller's Mad Max 2.
The story's premise bears some similarities with Alfonso Cuarón's 2006 film Children of Men. Besides the idea of the lack of fertile women in Earth, both films include a scene with Picasso's Guernica used as a backdrop.
