Netflix reported that the film was watched by 50 million members over its first four weeks of release, making it the most successful German original title to date.
The plane used is an Airbus A340. The interior of the Aircraft is a set in a tram shed in Prague.
When Farid gets taken off the plane and thrown onto a truck at 1:50:13, a Confederate battle flag is hanging in the window. They are supposed to be in Scotland, but the movie was filmed in the Czech Republic, where this battle flag is very popular but they miss the meaning; they just think of it as American.
The early scene in which Elias is rescued and questioned by an officer is an obvious homage to the science fiction horror classic Aliens (1986). In "Aliens," the little girl Newt is the only survivor of the monster attack. Both children are wretched and silent. Newt has a doll and Elias has a teddy bear. Newt sits on a table facing the viewer's left, while Lt. Gorman faces the viewer's right. Elias also sits on a table in the same position, facing the viewer's left, while being questioned by Officer Naomi, who faces the viewer's right. Gorman asks that Newt tell them what happened, and Naomi asks Elias the same thing. Ripley gives Newt some hot chocolate, Naomi offers Elias some hot chocolate. Both children begin to tell their story when asked about their family.
