The Thirteenth Floor
The Thirteenth Floor is a 1999 science fiction neo-noir film written and directed by Josef Rusnak, and produced by Roland Emmerich through his Centropolis Entertainment company. It is loosely based upon "Simulacron-3" (1964), a novel by Daniel F. Galouye, and a remake of the German tv-film "World on a Wire" (1973). The film stars Craig Bierko, Gretchen Mol, Armin Mueller-Stahl, Vincent D'Onofrio, and Dennis Haysbert. In 2000, "The Thirteenth Floor" was nominated for the Saturn Award for Best Science Fiction Film, but lost to "The Matrix."
