DC Metro map in the Movie "The Recruit"?

In the 2003 movie "The Recruit" with Colin Farrell and Al Pacino, there is a scene where Farrell's character is running from the police and gets on a metro train. At that point we see a map of the rail system, but it is not the actual metro map. It resembles it, with the colored rail lines, etc, but the lines run differently.

Any explanation for why they would have to change out the map? My guess would be security purposes, but anyone can get a metro map on-line. Is there any possibility of finding a copy of the fake map?

WMATA or the Washington Metropolitan Transit Authorty copyrights alot of its maps, handouts and such. Thats proabably the reason beacuse they werent willing to sell the rights

search on ebay...i had the same thought lol
hope i helped xx
good luck

Movies continually have flubs/fibs about Metro: The "Georgetown Station" in True Lies; Bruce Willis and Richard Gere's chase scene through the "DC" Metro in the Day of the Jackal remake. The map is probably just another Hollywood recreation.

One other Metro-related flub from The Recruit according to Movie Mistakes: "In the scene where James jumps on a Metro train at Union Station after killing Zack, the Metro conductor's voice is heard to say, 'Red line to Shady Grove. Next station Dupont Circle.' On the red line going towards Shady Grove, the next stop after Union Station is Judiciary Square. Dupont Circle is actually the fifth stop after Union Station."

Outside of eBay, their are also online auction sites that offer movie props and clothing.
