Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Estevez filmed at the actual Ambassador Hotel just months before its demolition in 2005; the kitchen where RFK was shot no longer exists in reality.
The film's release in 2006 deliberately echoed post-9/11 idealism fatigue and the Iraq War's parallels to Vietnam.
