Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was the most expensive film ever made at the time, with a budget over $60 million. The original cut was 3.5 hours long.
The film's dedication originally read 'to the brave Mujahideen fighters of Afghanistan'—later changed for post-9/11 releases. Time makes fools of us all.
