Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Based on Ranulph Fiennes' controversial 1991 book 'The Feather Men,' which claimed a real secret society of ex-SAS soldiers existed—British military officials denied everything.
This was one of the last pure 'practical action' films before the genre went full CGI; Statham performed most of his own stunts while De Niro reportedly took the role specifically to work with him.
