Short description
A British spy is banished to Panama after having an affair with an ambassador's mistress. Once there he makes connection with a local tailor with a nefarious past and connections to all of the top political and gangster figures in Panama. The tailor also has a wife, who works for the Panamanian president and a huge debt. The mission is to learn what the President intends to do with the Canal.
What's left behind the scenes
- Exterior shots of the houses where the characters of Geoffrey Rush, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Pierce Brosnan lived were filmed in Panama, while all interior scenes were shot on sets at Ardmore Studios in Ireland. The Pentagon command center with its many state-of-the-art computers was also created in Ireland.
- The film showcases some of Panama's landmarks – the presidential palace, one of the three main locks of the Panama Canal, the administrator's house, and the Panama Canal control center (the latter being a restricted area, so filming there was kept to a minimum).
- Geoffrey Rush doesn't drive, so in all scenes where his character is driving, the car is either towed or a stunt double is used.
- The film is based on the novel of the same name (1996) by John le Carré.
- Upon returning from Panama, the film crew continued shooting at the Ardmore Studios soundstages near Dublin, Ireland.
