Following a truck hijack in New York, five conmen are arrested and brought together for questioning. As none of them is guilty, they plan a revenge operation against the police. The operation goes well, but then the influence of a legendary mastermind criminal called Keyser Söze is felt.

The payback job leaves 27 men dead in a boat explosion, but the real question arises now: Who actually is Keyser Söze?

Goofs:
Crew/Equipment Visible
During Verbal's interrogation, when Dave Kujan bends over to pick up the dropped cigarette lighter, several lighting stands and a flag are visible in the background, by the desk lamp.

Audio/Video Mismatch
Dean Keaton's line "If I don't get Kobayashi my way she'll get him her way", spoken to Verbal Kint by the dock, doesn't match the movement of his lips.

Audio/Video Mismatch
During the harbour scene near the end, the report of McManus's Steyr AUG is very muted and yet he has no silencer attached.

Character Error
Keaton calls the Hungarian language "Russian", although it sounds nothing like it. The Verbal character corrects this.

Continuity
The blood on the elevator window.

Continuity
Shot of a landing Jumbo Jet (four-engined Boeing 747) becomes a twin-engined 767 or 777 a minute later.

Continuity
When McManus lights the "finest taxi service" on fire, he drops the lighter, and the sky-view of the car shows fires starting on three separate places on top of the car: the hood, roof, and trunk.
Trivia:
Kevin Spacey won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.
