This movie was based on The New York Times article "The Sinaloa Cartel's 90-Year-Old Drug Mule" by Sam Dolnick, which recounts and was inspired by the true story of Leo Sharp, a World War II veteran in his eighties, who became the world's oldest and most prolific drug mule for the Sinaloa Cartel. in this movie, however, this was changed to him being a Korean War vet, so the story could be set in 2017.
Andy Garcia was ready to accept any role in order to do a movie with Clint Eastwood.
Alison Eastwood, who recently focused on producing and directing, was surprised that her father Clint Eastwood asked her to play alongside him (she plays Iris, Earl's daughter).
This film was based on the true story of Leo "Tata" Sharp, a fellow who spent ten years as a mule for the Sinaloa cartel, the most powerful drug-trafficking ring in the world. Rather than strictly running from El Paso to Chicago, as depicted in the film, Tata primarily moved the drugs from safe houses in Arizona and delivered them to locations in Detroit, Boston, as well as Chicago. He also transported cash for the cartel.
In the film Tata explains his fascination with day lilies, which are a challenge to grow, which produce around a dozen buds, each of which produces a flower that lasts for only one day. He liked to produce hybrids by manually dusting pollen from one plant to another. The varieties are endless, with over 75,000 officially registered with the American Hemerocallis Society. The real Tata would travel to horticultural conventions around the country giving away hundreds of his lilies, most of which were only a few inches across but extremely beautiful. This drew a great many visitors to his "Brookwood Gardens" flower farm in Michigan City and to a second flower farm he had in Apopka, Florida. Buses filled with visitors would arrive at his front gate, eager to buy his signature flowers. As indicated in the film, once day lilies became available over the Internet, Sharp's business declined rapidly so his other activity - drug running - became a way for him to stay afloat.
