The Ambulance (1989) | James Earl Jones Chases a Killer on Wheels

Описание: “The Ambulance (1989) | Saturday Night Thriller Starring James Earl Jones”

This Saturday Night Feature from BlackTree Media delivers a wild and suspenseful ride through the streets of New York City with The Ambulance (1989), a cult thriller that blends mystery, action, and dark humor — featuring a powerhouse performance by James Earl Jones alongside Eric Roberts and Red Buttons.

When a beautiful woman collapses on a Manhattan sidewalk, comic book artist Josh Baker (Eric Roberts) rushes to help — only to watch her get whisked away by a mysterious ambulance that never arrives at any hospital. Desperate to find her, Josh uncovers a chilling conspiracy involving a rogue medical operation, kidnapping patients off the streets for sinister experiments.

Enter Lieutenant Spencer, played by the incomparable James Earl Jones, whose commanding voice and intense on-screen presence add both gravitas and wit to the chaos. Jones, fresh off iconic performances in Coming to America (1988) and Field of Dreams (1989), proves again why he’s one of Hollywood’s most versatile legends — equally at home commanding starships as the voice of Darth Vader or chasing mad doctors through Manhattan’s underworld.

Directed by Larry Cohen, the maverick filmmaker behind It’s Alive and The Stuff, The Ambulance is a fast-paced, quirky thriller that captures late-’80s New York with style, paranoia, and pulpy charm. The film is a unique genre blend — part detective story, part horror, and part satire — making it a hidden gem worth rediscovering.
