Story

A Mighty Heart is a detailed account of the search for kidnapped Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel in 2002, focusing on his pregnant wife, Mariane Pearl.

Pearl was kidnapped in Karachi by supporters of Al-Qaeda who claimed responsibility (and were later captured and convicted) for kidnapping and beheading Pearl in 2002.

For security reasons, the majority of the film, inclusing all scenes with Angelina Jolie was shot in India rather than in Pakistan. However many of the exteriors and all scenes involving the kidnapping, were shot at the real locations in Karachi with actor Dan Futterman. The film's other Indian location was Mumbai, where Danny and Marianne lived. Flashback scenes were shot there. The film also shot in France and Austin, Texas.
