Item # 731019 ·

LOS ANGELES TIMES, Aug. 9, 1987 (an original vintage newspaper leaf from the Calendar section)  This offering consists of four complete pages (two double-sided sheets on one single leaf), serving as a rare piece of cinematic ephemera, highlighted by an original vintage print advertisement announcing the opening day premiere of  "NO WAY OUT" starring Kevin Costner & Gene Hackman on one of the pages. (see images).
In addition to the featured movie ad, which captures the era's distinct theatrical promotional graphics and classic key art, the surrounding pages provide a fascinating snapshot of late 20th-century entertainment and pop culture. Printed on authentic newsprint with genuine vintage toning, this original leaf is not a modern reprint, making it an ideal piece for custom framing, film history display, or inclusion in a dedicated cinema memorabilia collection.

Background: Directed by Roger Donaldson, No Way Out (1987) is a celebrated Cold War neo-noir political thriller—and a modern remake of 1948’s The Big Clock—that established Kevin Costner as a leading Hollywood star alongside compelling performances by Gene Hackman, Sean Young, and Will Patton. Set against the high-stakes backdrop of the Pentagon, the plot centers on U.S. Navy Lieutenant Commander Tom Farrell (Costner), who is recruited by Defense Secretary David Brice (Hackman) only to enter a secret affair with Susan Atwell (Young), unaware she is also Brice's mistress. When Brice accidentally kills Susan during a heated argument, his ruthlessly loyal aide (Patton) concocts a cover-up by framing the murder on "Yuri," a long-rumored Soviet sleeper agent embedded in the Department of Defense. Cruelly assigned to head the investigation into Yuri, Farrell finds himself trapped in a nightmare: he must orchestrate the search for a phantom assassin while feverishly destroying evidence that links him to Susan before his own team unmasks him as her lover. Renowned for its palpable paranoia, intense limousine intimacy scenes, and one of cinema’s most shocking, mind-bending final plot twists, the film earned widespread critical acclaim for masterfully blending Washington political corruption, erotic suspense, and cold-war espionage logic into a tight, relentless thriller.
