    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The film's writer David Koepp said of the meaning of the movie's "Black Bag" title: "I sort of made that up because I thought it sounded cool. There was a film producer who I knew in New York who would say, 'That goes in the black bag', whenever he got something bad or negative that he didn't like. You throw it in the black bag, then you throw the bag in the river and never see it again. I like that as a metaphor for where things go that are never going to be discussed. I re-purposed it as a piece of spy slang that doesn't actually exist - but maybe it should."
    • Goofs
      When the movie ticket stub is seen in the trash, it has the date "WED 02 MARCH 2024" printed on it. However, in the following closeup shot, when George is holding the ticket, the prop has been altered, and the year has been removed, so it just says "WED 02 MARCH"
    • Quotes
      • George Woodhouse: If she's in trouble, even of her own making, I will do everything in my power to extricate her. No matter what that means. You understand?
      • Clarissa Dubose: My god, that's so hot.
    • Crazy credits
      Actress Alicia Vikander, the wife of the film's leading man, Michael Fassbender, who plays George Woodhouse, made a playlist that was used in the film. She was billed for this in the closing credits as "DJ Vicarious". In 2020, Vikander with her agent founded a production company called "Vikarious".
