American Honey
A restless teen joins a roving team of magazine sellers to chase freedom and belonging on the open road, only to battle wild parties, high‑stakes hustles, and her own turbulent past before she can truly find herself.
Synopsis
A restless teenager leaves her troubled home and joins a traveling group of young drifters who sell magazines across the American Midwest. As she becomes immersed in their world of reckless partying, risky hustles, and fleeting romances, she embarks on a journey to find freedom and a sense of belonging on the open road.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 39
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 0.7× 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).
