Trivia

The plane crash of the movie was inspired by a real air crash event that took place in 1989. United Airlines flight 232, a DC-10, suffered a major hydraulic loss after an engine explosion. While attempting to land to Sioux City airport the plane failed came in too fast and in wrong angle, resulting a devastating crash onto the cornfields next to the runway. See more »

Goofs

Errors in geography: While driving after the crash, Max checks his map and points to Highway 99 between Bakersfield and Los Angeles. However, he is obviously out in the middle of the Mojave desert and nowhere near either city. See more »
