    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Certain elements of the plot resemble "True Lies" (1994), in which Jamie Lee Curtis becomes involved with government agents without knowing her husband is really a spy. In this movie, Janet Leigh becomes involved with government agents while thinking her husband (Tony Curtis) works for the FBI, even though he doesn't. Jamie Lee Curtis is the daughter of Janet Leigh and Tony Curtis.
    • Goofs
      During the scene in the ESB's basement, after Ann storms out and David comes to, the unconscious Michael (lying on the ground) disappears from where he's lying as David walks past that spot and reappears when David returns. The bucket earlier thrown at him by Ann does not disappear, although it changes position after every cut.
