Trivia

There is a coded message hidden in the end credits that has not yet been decoded.

With immense cooperation from Jordan's military, director Doug Liman was able to film a scene that involved a Black Hawk helicopter flying at extremely low altitude along the main boulevard in the capitol city of Amman.

This film won the prestigious 2010 "Freedom of Expression Award" from the National Board of Review winning out over the two other nominees, Howl (2010) and Conviction (2010).

The film's star and leading actress Naomi Watts trained with intelligence and special military operatives that replicated the grueling training regime that Central Intelligence Agency operatives undergo at Camp Peary, the facility know as "the Farm", the latter nickname which is mentioned during the movie. The farm is also a major location for the fictional story told in the film The Recruit (2003).

Doug Liman re-cut the movie for Netflix, with Bill Pohlad's permission, to include Trump's pardon of Lewis Libby (Scooter Libby).

Valerie Plame Wilson: As herself, seen during the closing credits.
