    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The dialogue in the limo in which Tom asks the driver to raise the sliding partition was improvised and initiated by Kevin Costner. As the other actors' reactions seemed more natural than the scripted version, it was kept in the final print.
    • Goofs
      Farrell is awarded the Navy Cross for saving a sailor during a storm. The Navy Cross is only awarded for gallantry in combat.
    • Quotes
      • [last lines]
      • Schiller: [speaks Russian] We thought we'd never see you again.
      • Tom Farrell: [speaks Russian as well] So did I.
      • Schiller: Couldn't you have manage this better?
      • Tom Farrell: Not so fast, it's difficult for me to follow in Russian.
      • [switches back to English]
      • Tom Farrell: It's been very long for me.
      • Schiller: How thirsty you must be for the sound of our language.
      • [switches to English]
      • Schiller: Evgeny Alexeivich, wouldn't you love to hear Russian again? Imagine Pushkin, Lermontov, Tolstoy...
      • Tom Farrell: ...Solzhenitsyn, Aksyonov.
      • Schiller: [chuckles] Even them, always the sense of humor. In the Philippines, when you passed a bag of underwear, Moscow wasn't amused. I should've acted then. In any case, it's no longer possible for to remain United States. This bizarre incident has given them their Yuri. Evgeny, think. THINK! You're a hero of the Soviet Union.
      • Tom Farrell: [darkly] I'm not a hero.
      • Schiller: Be that as it may, you must return!
      • Tom Farrell: [annoyed] I came here! I thought I owed you that - but you can't make me go back.
      • [Tom leaves until the two men cock their guns]
      • Schiller: No! Let him go.
      • [Tom resumes in leaving]
      • Schiller: He'll come back. Where else can he go?
    • Crazy credits
      The opening credits appear in orange and then disappear, similar to the reconstruction process for the incriminating photograph of Tom.
