Trivia
The movie's running time of 108 minutes is exactly the same length of time it took for Yuri Gagarin's flight into space, orbit around the earth, and safe return to earth.

Goofs
At the end of the scene where Yuri's father learns that his son has just flown in space (at 1 hour & 45 minutes) the camera pulls back as he walks away from the meeting hall. A boom mic is visible on the right hand side of the picture as it pans back.
