    Trivia:

    • The lead role was written for Kevin Costner, but he was heavily committed to THE POSTMAN, and suggested Harrison Ford for the part.
       
    • When Valera gives his thumbprint for a background check near the beginning of the film, the date of birth that comes up among his info (3/21/58) is actor Gary Oldman's real birthday.
       
    • Ford told Gary Oldman to actually hit him during the filming of the fight scenes.
       
    • Distributors wanted a 'PG-13' rating, but were denied it by the MPAA.
       
    • The Russian prison where Radek is held during the movie was filmed at the Mansfield Penitentiary, the same location as THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION.
