Errors in geography: Ethan and Peter are on I-20 through East Texas before they wreck 36 miles from Dallas. They are then seen driving on a iron bridge like the ones on the Mississippi River. There are no bridges that are like that between Dallas and Shreveport. See more »

Quotes

[first lines]
Peter Highman: I just had the strangest dream. It's Friday. We're at the hospital. But it's not a hospital, it's a, a, a forest of sorts. And I know that because right next to you there's a bear. A grizzly, cooling his feet in a stream. And all of a sudden, you begin to deliver, and I can't get to you. But the bear can. And the next thing I know, he is holding our beautiful baby boy. And here's where it gets odd. Uh, he chews the cord. But, strangely, I'm okay with it. That's gotta be a good sign.
