Trivia

In the beginning of 'The Impossible' a jet is heard because that is how Maria Belon described the sound of the tsunami.

Many of the extras in the film are tsunami survivors.

'The Impossible' was one of the last films produced in the Alicante studio 'City of Light' which soon had to close because of the low number of films they produced.
