2019, After the Fall of New York, also known simply as After the Fall of New York (Italian: 2019 - Dopo la caduta di 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[2] and George Miller's Mad Max 2.[3]
The story's premise bears some similarities with Alfonso Cuarón's 2006 film Children of Men.[3] Besides the idea of the lack of fertile women in Earth, both films include a scene with Picasso's Guernica used as a backdrop.
