Tom Cruise and filmmaker Doug Liman shot mainly on location in Georgia for the true-life thriller American Made.
The film is based on the story of Barry Seal, a former commercial airline pilot in the early 1980s who ended up running drugs and guns working for both the CIA and a Colombian drug cartel.
American production hub Georgia doubled for the Arkansas town of Mena for the shoot, which was where Seal and his wife set up their illicit business in 1981.
