Factual error: The movie starts in 1985, jumps '5 years later' and then back to Sasha Luss, then '3 years earlier'. So, in her crusty apartment in an impoverished neighbourhood of 1987 Soviet Russia, Anna is filling a form on her notebook-style laptop, too modern for the era. It looks like a NEC UltraLite (considered the first notebook style laptop) which didn't even come out until 1989, let alone the likelihood of someone in the USSR having one.
Anna (2019)
Directed by: Luc Besson
Starring: Helen Mirren, Cillian Murphy, Luke Evans, Sasha Luss
Factual error: The movie starts in 1985. In the first arresting scene, one of the American spies is using a flip mobile phone.
Factual error: USB wasn't invented until 1995, and flash drives were not available until at least sometime after the year 2000. Anna is plugging a USB flash drive into a fairly modern laptop toward the end of the movie.
Olga: Adversity is a great teacher.
Anna: I work for the KGB, baby.
Piotr: If it wasn't for me you'd be on the streets turning tricks for meals.
