    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Douglas Hall's house has been seen before in several other science fiction films: as the exterior Detective Deckard's apartment building in Ridley Scott's Blade Runner (1982), and several years later as the apartment of a drug lord in Predator 2 (1990). Located in the affluent Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles, the home is known as the Ennis-Brown House and was designed by legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright.
    • Goofs
      When Douglas asks Grierson (Hanlon Fuller) about having flashbacks, Grierson references being in World War I. Since the program is set in the 1930s, prior to the second World War, Grierson wouldn't refer to the previous war as World War I. Before World War II, World War I had other names, most famously "The Great War." While it is a computer program, and knowledge doesn't necessarily operate the same way as in the "real world," there's no logical reason for characters to be programmed with that term, and Hanlon, as the designer, would know the proper terminology for the time since he actually lived during the 1930s.
    • Quotes

      Hannon Fuller: [First lines] Ignorance is bliss. For the first time in my life, I agree.

    • Crazy credits
      Before the opening credits, this René Descartes quote is seen on screen: "I think, therefore I am".

    A retro Gem
    I am a child of the 50's, and spent my preteen years feasting on all the classic sifi gems, such as " The day the earth stood still", "Forbidden Planet' etc. The 13th floor reminds me of those movies. This movie has been compared to the matrix, and that is unfair, Special effects are fine, but when they become the focal point of the movie, I think film suffers because of it. I liked the 13th floor because it didn't get caught up in all that technology and reallied on a great script, and a wonderful ensemble cast. I would highly recommend this movie to all, especially if you prefer the old "War of the Worlds" over the new one.
