Part of the Tom Cruise movie Knight and Day was filmed in Boston. There’s a car chase scene through the underground highway tunnels at one point. Anybody that’s driven here for more than a few days would recognize that there’s no way the chase could play out the way it did. The tunnels don’t interconnect the way the movie shows it.
No. THX-1138 would have been filmed decades before these tunnels existed. I think that was filmed in San Francisco subway tunnels that were still under construction in the early 70’s.
Interesting! I lived in the Bay Area and those tunnels were being built when I was a kid. It’s called BART - Bay Area Rapid Transit. My wife’s dad worked on them in SF as a construction worker. When they dug up old streets he brought cobblestones home one at a time, and built a whole wall of their family room out of them.

Haven’t seen Knight and Day. Are they the same tunnels that were used in THX-1138?
