After screenwriter Tony Gilroy finished his script in 1992, numerous A-list actors and directors circled the project, known at the time as 'High Wire Act'. But Gilroy's fictionalized portrayal of U.S.A, Israeli and PLO [Palestine Liberation Organization] scheming in 1982 Lebanon ultimately proved too hot to handle. "The problem was that the script is accurate," Gilroy mused. "The PLO didn't have exemplary behavior. Israel did not have exemplary behavior. The U.S. State Department did not have exemplary behavior. Nobody looked good at that moment in time except for the hero of this story."
