The play contains a lot of military and CIA terminology, which also became a major challenge for the actors in preparation. Nicole Kidman, who plays a high-ranking CIA executive, revealed that in order to make the difficult terminology sound like everyday conversation, she even asked her team to study the script word for word, describing the process as "almost like writing a doctoral thesis about the CIA." She also formed a "line analysis team" with Morgan Freeman, who plays Secretary of State, to repeatedly confirm the meaning of each line before filming began, and did not start filming until they fully understood it.
