Principal photography for Mel Gibson's action thriller began in Las Vegas in June 2023. Filming then took place over two days in Mesquite, Nevada, in July 2023. The film was also shot in Alaska. Mark Wahlberg, who plays the lead role of a hitman and pilot, partially shaved his head every day during filming for the role of a balding pilot instead of wearing a special cap.

Filming Locations:

Supreme Court

In the Movie

Scene where a U.S. Marshal escorts a government witness to court after he is charged with ties to a mafia boss. We see the courthouse where the trial will take place – a majestic gray building with columns and stucco.

In Reality

The scene was filmed near the New York State Supreme Court Building. This neoclassical structure is located in downtown Manhattan. It is ideal for filming due to its imposing facade, architectural rigor, and symbolism, which emphasize the authority and importance of justice. The high stone steps leading to the main entrance create a dramatic effect often used in films for courtroom scenes.

Airplane

In the Movie

Scene where the Marshal realizes the pilot is a hitman, then handcuffs him to the wall of the aircraft for his own safety and that of the witness. Meanwhile, the plane flies over snow-covered mountain peaks.

In Reality

The scene was filmed in the northwestern state of Alaska. This location is ideal for filming due to its unique natural landscapes, which create an impressive and harsh backdrop. The area combines vast snowy plains, majestic mountain ranges covered with glaciers, and dense coniferous forests.
