Starman (1984)

Factual error: When the government agents are reviewing the trajectory of the spaceship, the map is oriented incorrectly. Instead of Winslow, Arizona, the plotted trajectory is actually somewhere in north east Pennsylvania.

Suggested correction: The map is correct. We are looking at it upside down (from the camera's perspective), and the dashed purple line terminates about where the crater is in Arizona, and the red line terminates in Wisconsin. No line passes over Pennsylvania. It does bring up the issue though that the shoot down engagement happened over Canada, near Moosonee, so why are US Air Force F-4 jets in mid/northern Canada firing missiles?
