Producer John Davis hopes to turn the film into a new type of action film that combines action politics and emotion. "In fact, the first draft of the script of "Behind Enemy Lines" only tells the story of two pilot friends struggling to escape behind enemy lines. It was the screenwriter Zak Penn who thought of using two parallel story lines to construct the film, that is, focusing on the people who made the rescue plan and the thrilling journey behind the enemy. Penn fully considered the role of political factors, and NATO tried to prevent the US military generals from launching rescue operations. , In order to preserve the fragile peace situation.
James Harold Wilson is also very interested in this unusual hero character. During the study of the role, James Harold Wilson went to the naval base to experience the life of a pilot. He not only received strict survival training, but also learned to get in and out of F/A- 18 "Super Hornet" combat attack aircraft.
