Factual error: The ship, VIRGIL, is diving straight down from the crust to the core. Although the interior of the ship pivots to make the cockpit perpendicular to the descent, the ship itself is "digging" straight down so when people move from compartment to compartment they should be climbing up and down rather than simply walking back and forth.
The Core (2003)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Jon Amiel
Starring: Stanley Tucci, Aaron Eckhart, Bruce Greenwood, Richard Jenkins, Hilary Swank, Delroy Lindo, Tchéky Karyo, DJ Qualls
The team discovers that the core material is less viscous than originally thought, and they have to come up with a new plan. They decide to release the explosives in Virgil's pods. Braz dies while activating the manual release. A nuke falls on Zimski's leg and traps him in another pod when it is released. The explosions go off, and the core restarts. Beck and Josh get to the ocean floor but are trapped because they have no fuel. They activate the subsonic pulses, and Rat uses that to locate them. Afterwards, Rat releases the top secret files onto the Internet and to the media so that Commander Anderson, Braz, Zimski, and Serge will be remembered as heroes.

Dr. Josh Keyes: So what's this about then?
FBI Agent: We don't know. You have higher security clearance than us.
Dr. Josh Keyes: I have security clearance?
FBI Agent: Yes sir, we're just here to take you to your jet.
Dr. Josh Keyes: I have a jet?!
Trivia: If you look closely with time-frame advance during the pigeon scene you will see a fish "flying" into a window instead of a pigeon. (00:08:35)
Question: The heroes manage to get the core spinning again by detonating 5 200 megaton nuclear bombs. In real life, wouldn't it take hundreds of 200 nuclear bombs to get the core spinning again?
Answer: No number of nuclear weapons would have an effect on the movement of the Earth's core. The bombs in the movie are just there as part of the plot. The Core is a hysterically unscientific movie. It's still great fun though.
