John's father finds his plane tickets and realizes his plan, and they share a final goodbye.

Setting his plan in motion, John cuts the lab's phone lines and plants falsified blood work in the nài indicating that Lara is in a state of hyperkalemia, before leaving Luke at a birthday các buổi tiệc nhỏ.

Development[edit]

Paul Haggis was developing a film about Martin Luther King but could not get the financing. He began looking for less expensive projects and came across the French film Pour Elle (Anything for Her) by Fred Cavayé.[4][5]

The plot of Pour Elle involves a teacher, Julien (Vincent Lindon), who experiences difficulties when his wife (Diane Kruger) becomes a suspect in a murder investigation and is arrested;[4] Julien does not believe that his wife is guilty of the crime, and attempts to tướng remove her from the prison.[4] Pour Elle was Cavayé's directing debut.[4] The film was one of the main attractions of the Alliance Française French Film Festival in 2010.[6] Cavayé explained the plot and motivation for making the film, "We wanted to tướng make a real human story about an ordinary man doing an extraordinary thing because he's faced with a miscarriage of justice. The film also talks about courage—saying how you show courage depending on the situation. In France, for example, there were good people who did not go into the Resistance against the Germans."[6]

Haggis later recalled, "I'd always wanted to tướng bởi a little thriller. I'd always loved films lượt thích Three Days of the Condor, those romantic thrillers ... It's a lovely, slight, 90-minute film, the French film."[7]

Changes from French film[edit]

Haggis made a number of key changes from the French film:

They made it quite clear from the beginning of the film, she was innocent, and that he was loving, and he'd bởi anything to tướng get her out, and, in the over, they lived happily ever after. The bumps along the way were good but I thought I could make him pay a larger price. So, the first thing I did was ask myself what the question was. I need to tướng have a question if I'm starting a movie. The question I came up with, and I'm not sure if it's reflected in the film or not, but it's what I was writing toward, was: Would you save the woman you loved if you knew that by doing so sánh you'd become someone she'd no longer love? That interested u. And that wasn't in the French film at all. The whole issue of innocence was fascinating to tướng u because I didn't necessarily want to tướng say whether she was guilty or innocent. I just wanted John to tướng be the only one who believes she's innocent. The evidence is overwhelming. Even his parents think she's probably guilty. Even their own lawyer. Yet he still believed ... and what that level of belief does for someone, how infectious it is. So, those are two things I was playing with.[7]

Cavayé told The Age regarding the remake of the film by Haggis, he is eager "to be a spectator of my own film".[4] The director commented on the news his film would be remade by Haggis, "It's a strange feeling. I wrote this story in my very small apartment in Paris. When I saw my name next to tướng Russell Crowe on the net, it was amazing."[6]

Haggis based the lead character on himself:

I just sat down and said, "If I had to tướng break the woman I love out of prison, how would I bởi it?" I'd go on the Internet, that's the first thing I bởi. I'd Google "How to tướng break out of prison." So, that's exactly what I did. I went on and Googled "How to tướng break out of prison," "How to tướng break into a siêu xe," and found these fascinating things, and I just used them. I figured that's what he would bởi. I also knew I would fail spectacularly, at least at first. But then I would continue. And I'd get the shit beat out of u, and I would trust the wrong people, and I would bởi the wrong things. I'd start to tướng feel really good about myself, that I'd figured the whole thing out, and then something would go wrong. I would just keep going until I either was caught or we got out or something happened. That's what he does. So, I just tried to tướng make him an everyman. I loved the fact that this guy was also an English teacher, so sánh he was a romantic. He was talking about Don Quixote. He's got this whole romanticized vision of how you sacrifice yourself for a woman, how you go about something lượt thích this. It's terribly romanticized and so sánh completely impractical.[7]

Haggis also based John's research of prison break-out techniques on his own Internet research on the Church of Scientology after its San Diego chapter endorsed 2008 California Proposition 8, which revealed the faith's controversies to tướng him and led to tướng him leaving the church.[8]
