Fall

Other mistake: In an early shot that takes place at night, a woman in a restaurant points out that the radio tower has a blinking light. Later on during the night shots we see the strobe close up. The problem is, there is no electrical equipment on or nearby the base of the tower, nor are there electrical wires visible for the lighting. How is this tower still receiving power? Tower lighting is extensive, and there would at least be some form of equipment for it present at the bottom of the tower. Not to mention, tower lighting has to be maintained by FAA regulations, and it's difficult to believe a 2,000 foot tower would be in such bad shape. Considering the strobe at the top is incandescent, it would burn out often and the tower would need to be climbed.

Factual error: The events of the movie occur over 3 days, during which time a cellphone is used repeatedly, including for piloting a drone. There is no currently available high-end cellphone which would continue to operate this long without charging.

Becky: Life is fleeting. Life is short, too short. So you gotta use every moment. You have to do something that makes you feel alive, and that shit, that would spread that message far and wide.

Trivia: Profanity Warning: The original cut of the film contained over 30 uses of the word "fuck." When the film was picked up for theatrical distribution, the studio wanted to redub the film's profanity to make it PG-13. The studio had the actors redub their lines with less harsh language, and then used A.I.-based software (similar to "deepfakes") to digitally manipulate their mouths to match the new dialogue.
