 Gene Hackman (qv)s name did not appear in promotional material  for the film. Hackmans contract called for his name to come before  the title in all promotional materials (trailers, posters, etc.);  Tom Cruise (qv)s contract called for his name and his name only  to come before the title in all promotional materials. Hackman opted  to leave his name off all promotional materials altogether, leaving  his presence a surprise to most audiences. In the film itself,  Hackmans name comes after Cruises and before the title.
