Trivia

In preparing for his portrayal of Sgt. John McLoughlin, Nicolas Cage focused on accurately speaking with a New York accent. And to also capture the fear and claustrophobia of McLoughlin's ordeal, Cage spent hours in a sense-deprivation tank in Venice, California. See more »

Goofs

Factual errors: There is an outdoor scene showing trees with leaves displaying bright fall colors. Leaves in the northeast US don't begin to change until late September and would not be at their peak colors until mid-October. See more »
