    • Trivia
      The music played in the background on Rusty's ranch is Kiefer Sutherland's own music from his country band.
    • Goofs
      An honorably discharged service member cannot lose vested benefits without a lengthy administrative process. James' CO couldn't strip him of those benefits. The whole premise of the movie is fantasy.
    • Quotes
      • Mike: They told us it was just a data heist
      • James: It's not data... it's a cure to a virus they want to fucking release so they can make billions off treating it
