Trivia
Director Trademark: [Renny Harlin] [Finland] "Finlandia" by Jean Sibelius is used in some scenes. See more »Goofs
Factual errors: The bad guys adjust the ILS system to set ground level for 200' below actual ground level in order to cause the Windsor flight to crash. This is not possible because the ILS system uses antennas mounted on the ground around the runway which send out signals to the receiving plane. The system is based on how far and where the plane is relative to the antennas. The antennas would have to be physically moved in order to change where the ILS glide-slope would be. Even if they were put 200' below ground, the signals would not reach an airplane. See more »Soundtracks
