Directed by: Richard Brooks
Starring: Burt Lancaster, Lee Marvin, Robert Ryan, Woody Strode
Factual error: In the scene where Lee Marvin states that Burt Lancaster loves explosions, Burt Lancaster makes a remark about the big bang theory. He says: the whole universe started with a big explosion. The film is set in 1917 which is 10 years before Georges Lemaître launched the big bang theory.
Factual error: Burt Lancaster has a roll of electrical tape on his belt when he is setting the dynamite trap, which wasn't invented until 1946.
Deliberate mistake: When Raza is chasing the "empty" train, as it goes over the trestle just before he stops it, you can see the engineer in the train's engine.
Bill Dolworth: The revolution? When the shooting stops, and the dead are buried, and the politicians take over, it all adds up to one thing: a lost cause.
