Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Tim Robbins' second film role; he made The Sure Thing the same year and apparently had very different summers.
Filmed during peak Reagan-era anxiety about Central American instability, it accidentally mirrors actual contra funding scandals that would emerge two years later.
