Production
The film was co-produced by several companies, including New Line Cinema, Costner's Tig Productions, Hollywood Pictures and Armyan Bernstein's Beacon Pictures. The Department of Defense cooperated to some extent, allowing the producers to film on several bases. In order to keep the film "in period" filming took place on ships from the time of the crisis that still exist in the active fleet (USS Enterprise), and ships preserved as museums (USS Joseph P. Kennedy). Aircraft (both a preserved F-8 Crusader and U-2 spyplane were featured) that still exist from the period were refurbished to appear operational as well.
