1 other mistake
Directed by: Ron Howard
Starring: Nicole Kidman, Tom Cruise, Robert Prosky, Thomas Gibson
Factual error: When Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise arrive in America, the year is 1892, but the flags being passed out at the pier have 50 stars on them. In 1892, there were 44 states.
Shannon Christie: No! Joseph, please come back. Joseph, no! Don't leave me alone. Please. I loved you. I loved you from the first time I saw you.
Joseph Donnelly: I've often wondered about that.
Trivia: Three of Ron Howard's great-grandparents actually rode in the Great Land Rush of 1893, as depicted in the film.
