Originally intended as a small film after the enormous cost, pressures, and production problems of Apocalypse Now (1979), this film's budget ballooned from $2 million to over $25 million. The extraordinary costs led to director Francis Ford Coppola declaring bankruptcy. Coppola has stated that the films he made were done to pay off the debts incurred producing this film.
Rather than shooting on location, director Francis Ford Coppola insisted on building sets. A replica of Las Vegas' McCarran Airport, complete with a jetway and jet airliner (built from the nose section of a crashed plane), was built and used for the penultimate scene. The sets for the film consumed the entire sound stage space at Coppola's recently-acquired American Zoetrope studio. Because of the maze of wiring and flammable scrims, backdrops, and other materials, production designer Dean Tavoularis half-jokingly referred to the Vegas Strip set as a "firetrap", saying it caused him to have "nightmares about fires" during production.
Francis Ford Coppola directed most of the film from The Silver Fish, a mobile HQ fully equipped with a kitchenette, espresso machine, and onboard Jacuzzi. Coppola would issue his directions via loudspeaker.
This was the only film directed by Francis Ford Coppola to be shot at his Zoetrope Studios.
Harry Dean Stanton and Rebecca De Mornay were a real-life couple at the time of filming. They lived together for about two years.

"Frannie: You used to have a pretty good build, y'know? You did! Now you're starting to look like a - an egg!"
