    • Trivia
      The strange game board in the opening scene is the "Game of Ur," a game from ancient Mesopotamia. The game is still played in Iraq to this day. The board they're using appears to be a facsimile of the oldest surviving board, discovered in the Royal Tomb of Ur.
    • Goofs
      On the way out of NEB HQ, when Jefferson jokingly repeats the line "Can I come with you?" we see Hendricksson from behind as he points his rifle upward and away from Jefferson. When we cut to a front view, he is still pointing the rifle forward. Then we cut to a rear view again and the rifle is still pointed upward.
    • Quotes

      Hendricksson: Jefferson, you must be confusing me with someone who gives a shit.

    Truly an under-rated file
    Obviously most people didn't think this movie to be much anything special, although I tend to disagree. I thought this movie was probably one of the best sci-fi films in years that I've seen. Peter Weller (best known as RoboCop) is also a very under-rated actor who deserves some good roles these days. The only problem with this movie was the very poorly done special fx. I'm sure if this movie would have been given a bigger budget it would have done better in theaters.

    FAQ7

    • What are the differences between the book and the film?
    • If a "tab" will work only for one person, how is Jefferson able to use his to protect Ross?
    • Is this in the same universe as Blade Runner(1982)?
