Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe dialogue in the limo scene in which Tom asks the driver to raise the sliding partition was improvised and initiated by Kevin Costner. As the other actors' reactions seemed more natural than the scripted version, it was kept in the final print.
- GoofsFarrell is awarded the Navy Cross for saving a sailor during a storm. The Navy Cross is only awarded for gallantry in combat.

Featured review
Sex, murder, mystery, politics—No Way Out has it all! If you like edge-of-your-seat thrillers, don't let the 80s release date fool you. This could have been released last week; it's that exciting!
Kevin Costner has a great job at the Pentagon, working directly under the Secretary of Defense, Gene Hackman. When he starts seeing an alluring young woman, he thinks he's on top of the world. What he doesn't know is that his new girlfriend is also his boss's mistress!
This is a fast-paced, intense thriller with a hot romance, exciting action scenes, and twists and turns in nearly every scene. If you like thrillers, you'll love this! Check it out during your next movie night; in the right circumstances, it could even be a good date movie.
