Yes, that was based on a real case, and the writers got in a lot of trouble for accessing classified data. But a deal was made where one small scene was re-shot and everything was OK. I cannot reveal what the change was, but it's the only part that strays a bit from the facts. Never mind that much of the stuff doesn't seem plausible - truth is often stranger than fiction.

Fact, if you are talking about the technology used in the movie, as well as the actions of our government. There are several such operations going on here in the U.S at any given time, and dont think this couldnt happen here. Our sattillites can see a pimple on your butt through cloud cover, or at night, if you were tolay naked in your back yard. The imagery now days is enhanced through all wavelengths of the spectrum, from x ray to infra red, as well as the electrical spectrums as well, then computer enhanced, combining all wavelengths to produce a picture so clear it looks like you are right above the object in vies, about two inches away from it. The claim that the picture at the begining of the Iraq war was a satallite image of a mobil lab was laughable at best. I myself have seen the image quality of our systems, and they are frightening!

All of the technology described in that movie is available, based only on what has already been declassifed.
Whether it actually happens, given what we've observed our own government admitting to doing, I'll leave to those who want to guess.

Has to be mostly fiction. I'm sure there are those who would like to have that much access to information, but from what I've seen...it's just NOT there.

Honestly, nothing would surprise me. One person couldn't have thought all that stuff up without some sort of basis for research....?????
