The Falcon and the Snowman Trivia Questions
1. Who is the author of the book "The Falcon and The Snowman", on which this film is based?

From Quiz The Falcon and the Snowman

Answer: Robert Lindsey

John Schlesinger directed the film, Steven Zaillian wrote the screenplay and Clarence Kelley was the director of the FBI at the time of Boyce and Lee's arrest.

2. Why was the Snowman called "the Snowman"?

From Quiz The Falcon and the Snowman

Answer: He sold cocaine

Before turning to espionage, Daulton Lee was a very successful cocaine and heroin dealer. He is seen several times setting up cocaine and heroin deals, and even tries involving the Russians in his deals.

3. Things begin to heat up and Boyce attempts to flee the country. Where does he try to go before deciding on Buenos Aires instead?

From Quiz The Falcon and the Snowman

Answer: London

Just as he is about to board the plane, he becomes suspicious of several people who seem to be watching his every move. At this point, however, no one is aware of what he is doing and he could have escaped the entire ordeal. Instead, he flees the airport and stays in the US.

4. When asked how he knew Daulton Lee, what does Christopher Boyce tell the KGB agent?

From Quiz The Falcon and the Snowman

Answer: They were altar boys

After their stint as altar boys, Lee chose a life of dealing drugs and Boyce was actually in seminary school studying for the priesthood, before dropping out and joining the CIA.

5. What is the name of the actual falcon in the film?

From Quiz The Falcon and the Snowman

Answer: Fawkes

Boyce is convicted of treason against his government. His pet is named after Guy Fawkes, a British citizen who was also convicted of treason against his government for trying to blow up Parliment in 1605. This has to be more than just a coincidence. At one point, Boyce is shown attempting to flee to England. Does Christopher Boyce somehow know all along that he may betray his country someday?

6. What is the name of the company that Christopher Boyce works for when he becomes an "accidental spy"?

From Quiz The Falcon and the Snowman

Answer: RTX

In the film it is called RTX, though it is actually TRW. The same company that is involved with US defense systems also owns the credit reporting agency of the same name. Sound familiar? These days they are just an automotive parts maker after having to sell most of their other interests due to large scale debts.
