Trivia
Bob Balaban had not spoken French since high school. When Spielberg, over the phone, asked if he did spoke French, he answered in bad French that he did not speak much, half hoping that someone in the room, overhearing the call, could at least know enough French to hear that he was no good at it. No one did. See more »Goofs
Factual errors: The insignia worn by some of the Navy fliers do not correspond to their ranks. See more »Quotes
Air Traffic Controller: AirEast 31, do you wish to file a report of any kind to us?AirEast Pilot: [over radio] I wouldn't know what kind of report to file, Center.
