Aloha
A charismatic ex‑Air Force officer is rehired to spearhead a high‑stakes weapons satellite launch in Hawaii, only to find his mission jeopardized by a love triangle between his former flame and the relentless Air Force watchdog assigned to police his work.
“Sometimes you have to say goodbye before you can say hello.”
Synopsis
A military contractor returns to the site of his greatest career achievements and reconnects with a former love while unexpectedly developing feelings for the Air Force watchdog assigned to oversee his work.

A crew of 71+ credited
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 0.7× 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).
