Christopher Nolan has now opened up on how he bought a Boeing 747 Plane for a crucial sequence in the film just to blow it up. He also explained why he did not opt for CGI or a miniature shooting process.
Talking to Total Film Magazine about the same said, “I planned to do it using miniatures and set-piece builds and a combination of visual effects and all the rest. However, while scouting for locations in Victorville, California, the team discovered a massive array of old planes.”
Further stating why it was a good idea to buy the plane rather than going for substitutes, he added, “[It was] actually be more efficient to buy a real plane of the real size, and perform this sequence for real in-camera, rather than build miniatures or go the CG route.”
Having said that the Tenet director realises that it was quite an impulsive shopping. Addressing the same fact he said, “It’s a strange thing to talk about – a kind of impulse buying, I suppose.

It was a very exciting thing to be a part of.”
