Factual error: Barry Seal is taken with the guys of the drug-kartel in a yellow helicopter. There is an internet address on the side of the helicopter, half covered by the door, entirely inappropriate for the timeframe of the early 80's. (00:17:20)
American Made (2017)
Directed by: Doug Liman
Starring: Tom Cruise, Domhnall Gleeson, Sarah Wright, Caleb Landry Jones
Factual error: In the beginning of the movie there are shots that appear to be historical of the 70's era. One shot contains several Boeing 737's lined up. These are however winglet-equipped, modern types that only have existed from the mid 2000's.
Factual error: When Berry is being chased by a Customs aircraft, it states Customs and Border Protection on the side of the Customs aircraft. Customs and Border Protection was not created until 2003.
Barry Seal: The problem isn't the room. It's weight.
