Donnie Darko
Movie Donnie Darko (2001)

10/2/1988

On October 2, 1988, a jet engine falls from the sky and crashes through the bedroom roof of Donnie Darko — who narrowly escapes because a six-foot demonic rabbit named Frank led him outside in his sleep. Frank tells Donnie the world will end in twenty-eight days, six hours, forty-two minutes, and twelve seconds, and instructs him to commit a series of destructive acts that will only make sense in the final hours.
