Directed by: Tony Scott

Revealing mistake: Near the end of the film, after the shootout, there's a shot with the camera zooming in on a newspaper at Will Smith's front door. If you pause it right once the headline fills the top of the screen, you'll notice all the paragraphs are just repeated, word for word. Additionally the word "received" is misspelled.
Revealing mistake: When Dean shoots the chasing vehicle with a shotgun, it flips several times. Wires are visible pulling the vehicle to the left.

Robert Clayton Dean: What the hell is happening?
Edward Lyle: I blew up the building!
Robert Clayton Dean: Why?
Edward Lyle: Because you made a phone call! (01:34:13)
Trivia: During the brief occasional shots of the satellite you can hear Morse code. The code translates as CQ, which is amateur radio speak for 'is anybody there?' - hardly spy stuff.
Question: Is it true that there are acres of computers under the DoD? And that they scan for key words? Can anyone confirm that?
Chosen answer: If there are, it is kept secret. But there is ECHELON http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECHELON which is able to listen in on most forms of electronic communication.
