Directed by: Roger Donaldson

Continuity mistake: O'Donnell's son's report card has a grade D for effort. However, according to the scale printed directly below the grade, the awardable effort grades are A, B, C or U - not D. (00:04:01)
Suggested correction: The sons name on the report card is Kevin. His name was Kenneth, Jr. Kevin was younger.
Visible crew/equipment: In all the President Kennedy White House shots, you can see the boom mic peak down several times. Look for the group shots, and the boom mic will be there.
President Kennedy: Well, who the hell authorized this missile test?
Robert Kennedy: Who do you think? God knows what this is gonna communicate to the Soviets.
Kenny O'Donnell: Communicate with the Soviets? We can't communicate with the Pentagon - and it's just across the goddamn river.
Trivia: This is the second JFK-related film starring Kevin Costner in which he has played someone other than Kennedy. The first was 'JFK'.
Question: Was Air Force One actually 2 different planes, in the closeup shot a 747, but in the wider shot a different plane?
