The filming was performed at TRW's Space Park location in Redondo Beach, CA, but as a former TRW employee I assure you that Space Park is not the world headquarters for TRW. It is the headquarters for the Defense and Electronics Sector (or whatever new acronym they're using this year). The filming was actually performed on the lower level plaza outside the cafeteria. The bridge span overhead is the walkway over the plaza to the mid- level of the Services building. The tall building in the background is "building E2", the primary administrative building (houses all the V.P.'s and very high level managers). The filmed view is to the north-east (towards the 405 freeway). Phil Bonestele FileNet Corp. Costa Mesa, CA

TRW "Space & Technology" Headquarters is in Redondo Beach, at a college-like campus called One Space Park (referred by the locals as One No Parking Space). Just to set the record straight.
