The film is
based on a true story that takes place in the Middle East where
an Iraqi fighter pilot steals a Russian MIG and flies it to
Israel. Matte World Digital created several matte paintings
to help the production establish important story locations.
An exterior train station
photographed in Israel needed to be changed into an interior
roof-covered station located in Iraq.

Live-action photography of
two T-33's needed to be enhanced to establish a shot of the
Israeli Airforce scrambling their planes.
