This film is loosely adapted from ex CIA operative Robert Baer's memoir See No Evil.
In preparation for his role, George Clooney gained 35 pounds on a pasta-heavy diet to play CIA operative Robert Barnes. He also shaved his hairline for the right look.
George Clooney suffered a spinal injury during a stunt. Due to the weight he gained for his role, the injury left him bedridden for a month and caused severe migraines.
Harrison Ford was originally offered the role of Bob Barnes, but turned it down. He later told Empire magazine that is one of the few movie career decisions that he has regretted.
