Knight and Day

Directed by James Mangold, Knight and Day (2010) is a high-octane action-comedy that centers on the chaotic life of June Havens (Cameron Diaz). Her world is turned upside down when she meets Roy Miller (Tom Cruise), a rogue secret agent, on a flight from Wichita. Suddenly thrust into a global chase, June must decide whether Roy is a traitor or the only person she can trust as they protect a powerful perpetual energy source known as the "Zephyr."

The film is recognized for its globe-trotting scale, the effortless chemistry between its leads, and its mix of over-the-top stunts and romantic charm.

Locations

The production was a massive international undertaking, filming across North America and Europe to capture the film's "on-the-run" energy.

Boston, Massachusetts

Much of the film's early action and the domestic scenes were shot in Boston. The production used several city streets for the high-speed car chases involving June’s classic car. The iconic "Z-Point" meeting place was filmed near the Long Wharf area, providing a scenic harbor backdrop for the intelligence hand-offs. Map Location

Bridgewater, Massachusetts

The high-stakes highway chase, featuring Roy Miller jumping from car to car while June drives in a panic, was filmed on Route 24 in Bridgewater. The production closed down stretches of the highway to film the complex vehicular stunts. Map Location

Seville, Spain

One of the film's most visually stunning sequences—the motorcycle chase during the "Running of the Bulls"—was filmed in the streets of Seville. While the festival actually takes place in Pamplona, the production chose the winding, historic alleys of Seville to showcase the chase, passing landmarks like the Casa de Pilatos. Map Location

Salzburg, Austria

The sequence where Roy and June escape across the rooftops of a grand European city was filmed in Salzburg. The production utilized the historic skyline and the Getreidegasse to create a romantic yet perilous atmosphere as they evade assassins high above the city streets. Map Location

Cadiz, Spain

The climactic finale, including the pier sequences and the beach escape, was filmed in the ancient port city of Cadiz. The city’s white buildings and turquoise waters stood in for various tropical and Mediterranean locales used throughout the film's conclusion. Map Location

Jamaica

The "tropical island" hideout where Roy takes a drugged June to keep her safe was filmed on the north coast of Jamaica. The lush jungle and private beaches provided the perfect "secret agent" paradise for the film's mid-act breather. Map Location
