Trivia

Robert De Niro was originally cast as Darius Jedburgh, but dropped out due to 'creative differences' after a few days on the set. See more »

Goofs

Incorrectly regarded as goofs: Tom Craven says his daughter was poisoned with thallium, which he finds using a Geiger counter. While normal non-radioactive thallium causes heavy metal poisoning but not radiation sickness, there are radioactive forms of thallium which are normal byproducts of nuclear decay. The radioactive form would be more likely available from a nuclear facility than the non-radioactive form. See more »

Quotes

Darius Jedburgh: I don't know what it means to have lost a child, but I know what it means never to have had one.
Thomas Craven: Yeah, got nobody left to bury you.
