Synopsis

Kate and her aggressive boyfriend, Big Al, sell handguns on the streets of New York. She is intelligent, stylish, and self-assured, but these traits are stripped away when Al, driven by jealousy and self-indulgence, physically abuses her. Three individuals support her recovery: Vic, a woman who is interested in becoming Kate's lover; Reilly, who associates with Al but is drawn to Kate and disturbed by Al's violence; and Liz, a counselor assigned to Kate through a battered-women's program. Vic and Reilly discuss the possibility of killing Al, while Liz offers encouragement and support; however, Kate remains fearful. Will Al's threat and Kate's reliance on him ultimately prevail?

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 19

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.0× its budget

Why 2.5×?

Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
