    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The film was shot and completed in 2009, and originally scheduled for release on November 24, 2010. It was shelved for almost two years, due to MGM's financial troubles.
    • Goofs
      An EMP-style weapon fried all electronics, but they seem to have a working cell phone.
    • Quotes
      • Jed Eckert: I'm going to fight. I'm going to fight. Now, this is easier for me because I'm used to it. The rest of you are gonna have a tougher choice. Look, I don't want to sell it to you; it's too ugly for that. It's ugly, and it's hard. But when you're fighting in your own backyard, and you're fighting for your family, it all hurts a little less and it makes a little more sense. And for them, this is just some place, but for us? This is our home.
