Synopsis

Chris Kyle, a U.S. Navy SEAL, dedicates himself to his mission of protecting his fellow soldiers, becoming one of the most accurate snipers in American military history. His precision under fire saves numerous lives but also makes him a target for insurgents. Throughout his service, Kyle endures significant personal and professional challenges, including the demands of being a husband and father while completing four tours of duty in Iraq. After returning home, Kyle struggles to adjust to civilian life, finding it difficult to disconnect from the war and its lasting effects.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 29

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.

Box Office

2014 · Box office

💰 Box-office hit — grossed 9.2× 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).
