Production
The film was shot in Slovakia. During the shooting of the film, for the first time in 104 years, Slovakia hadn't received snow, so special effects were used to create snow for the film.
None of the actors playing Serbians were actually Serbian; the producers said that they hired Croats to instruct the actors in Serbian, because they couldn't find any Serbs willing to work on the film, due to hints of anti-Serb sentiment shown in the film. Vladimir Mashkov, the actor who played the Serbian sniper, Sasha, is Russian and Olek Krupa, the actor who played the Serbian General, Miroslav Lokar, is Polish. Some Slovaks also participated in the film, such as Marko Igonda, who plays Colonel Bazda, and Kamil Kollarik, who plays a young militant who aids Burnett in Hač.
The USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70) was the aircraft carrier featured in the film. Exterior naval footage was filmed on board the carrier. Interiors were filmed on the Carl Vinson, on the USS Constellation (CV-64), and on-set.
