Enemy of the State (1998) - 4 major mistakes
Directed by Tony Scott, starring Gene Hackman, Jon Voight, Lisa Bonet, Will Smith (add more)
Factual error: When requesting images from the satellite, the position (latitude and longitude) is always given in degrees and minutes (but NOT seconds), and a few moments later they get a picture centered on the person they are looking for. Now a minute equals a nautical mile (or 1.85 kilometers), so with a position given in degrees and minutes you'd get a region bigger than 3 square kilometers.... which makes it impossible to find a person that fast (especially in a crowded town).
