'''''Collateral''''' is a 2004 American [[neo-noir]] [[action thriller film]]<ref>{{cite web|title=Collateral|url=https://www.fandango.com/collateral-85609/movie-overview|publisher=Fandango|access-date=October 26, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190429052505/https://www.fandango.com/collateral-85609/movie-overview|archive-date=April 29, 2019|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Collateral|url=https://www.the-numbers.com/movie/Collateral#tab=summary|publisher=The Numbers|access-date=October 26, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190921153738/https://www.the-numbers.com/movie/Collateral#tab=summary|archive-date=September 21, 2019|url-status=live}}</ref> directed and produced by [[Michael Mann]], written by [[Stuart Beattie]], and starring [[Tom Cruise]] and [[Jamie Foxx]]. The supporting cast includes [[Jada Pinkett Smith]], [[Mark Ruffalo]], [[Peter Berg]], [[Javier Bardem]], and [[Bruce McGill]]. The film follows Max Durocher (Foxx), a [[Los Angeles]] cab driver, and his customer, Vincent (Cruise). When offered a high fare for driving to several locations, Max agrees but soon finds himself taken hostage by Vincent who turns out to be a [[hitman]] on a contract killing spree.
Beattie first conceived the idea for the film when taking a [[taxicab]] home from [[Sydney]] airport. He shared the idea with producer Julie Richardson, who showed it to director [[Frank Darabont]]. The film was pitched to [[HBO]] but was declined. It was purchased by [[DreamWorks Pictures|DreamWorks]] but would not see development for three years. Before the trio of Mann, Cruise and Foxx joined the film, [[Mimi Leder]], [[Janusz Kamiński]] and [[Fernando Meirelles]] were each considered as director, and [[Russell Crowe]] and [[Adam Sandler]] were in talks to star as Vincent and Max, respectively. Filming primarily took place throughout [[Los Angeles]], and was the first feature film to be shot with a [[Viper FilmStream High-Definition Camera]]. The musical score was composed by [[James Newton Howard]], with additional songs from [[Audioslave]] and [[Paul Oakenfold]].

==Plot==
Line 42:
Max's next fare is Vincent, who tells Max that he is in Los Angeles for one night to complete a [[real estate]] deal, and Max agrees to drive him to several locations. As Max waits at the first stop, a corpse falls onto his car. Vincent reveals himself to be a [[Contract killing|hitman]]. He forces Max to hide the body in the trunk and continue driving. [[LAPD]] detective Ray Fanning arrives where Vincent made the kill and reveals the victim was a [[police informant]].
At the second stop, Vincent restrains Max's hands to the steering wheel. While Vincent is away,
Vincent orders Max to a [[jazz club]] to find his third target, Daniel, who is set to testify against Vincent's client. Max pleads with Vincent to let Daniel go, and Vincent bets that Daniel cannot answer a question about [[Miles Davis]]. Daniel seemingly gives a correct answer, but Vincent unexpectedly shoots Daniel in the head, dissatisfied with his answer.
Line 56:
Stealing a bystander's phone, Max calls Annie to warn her, urging her to call [[9-1-1|911]]. Vincent arms himself with a gun from a security guard and corners Annie, but he is shot and wounded by Max, who escapes with Annie on foot. Vincent pursues the pair onto a [[Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority|metro rail train]]. Cornered on the train, Max engages Vincent in a shootout. Vincent, fatally wounded, slumps into a seat. Max and Annie get off at the next station, as a deceased Vincent continues riding alone on the train.

===Development===
When he was 17 years old, Australian writer Stuart Beattie took a cab home from [[Sydney Airport|Sydney airport]] and had the idea of a homicidal maniac sitting in the back of a cab with the driver nonchalantly conversing with him, trusting his passenger implicitly. Beattie drafted his idea into a two-page treatment titled "The Last Domino", then later began writing the screenplay. The original story centered around an African-American female cop who witnesses a [[hit (crime)|hit]], and the romance between the cab driver and his then librarian girlfriend. The final film has limited resemblance to the original treatment.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Cath |first1=le Couteur |last2=Stuart |first2=Beattie |title=Independent Filmmakers Network : Shooting People |url=https://shootingpeople.org/interviews.php?mode=beattie |website=shootingpeople.org |access-date=August 18, 2018 |language=en |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190331091024/https://shootingpeople.org/interviews.php?mode=beattie |archive-date=March 31, 2019 |url-status=live }}</ref>

Upon [[Russell Crowe]] expressing interest in playing the role of Vincent, development on the film moved forward. Crowe got his ''[[The Insider (film)|The Insider]]'' director [[Michael Mann]] involved, but after constant delays, Crowe departed the project
To prepare for the role of Vincent, [[Tom Cruise]] watched a few movies about professional killers such as [[Jean-Pierre Melville]]’s ''[[Le Samouraï]]'' (starring [[Alain Delon]]), with Cruise describing his fascination with the "solitary and melancholic charisma in carrying out his cruel affairs.” Cruise’s appearance and character in the American film are also reminiscent of the character played by Delon in that film.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-07-04 |title=Tom Cruise wird 60: zwischen Hollywood und Scientology |url=https://www.fr.de/kultur/tv-kino/tom-cruise-hollywood-usa-60-geburtstag-hollywood-scientology-kino-top-gun-portraet-91644719.html |access-date=2024-11-11 |website=www.fr.de |language=de |quote=Tom Cruise (How did he actually prepare for the role of the villain in "Collateral" ?) : "First I watched some films about professional killers, including Jean-Pierre Melville's 'The Ice-Cold Angel' with Alain Delon.

"I saw that [quality of Tom's] in Jamie on ''[[In Living Color]]'' — his characters were so vivid. That's why I went after him for [cornerman] Bundini Brown in ''Ali''.
