Synopsis

Jimmie Rainwood is going about his daily routine when two corrupt police officers, having misread an address, storm into his home in search of a drug dealer. Mistaking Rainwood for the target, the officers shoot him and plant evidence to frame him for drug dealing. He is later convicted based on the false testimony of a police informant. Sent to a run-down prison, Rainwood struggles to clear his name in an environment where many inmates also claim to have been wrongfully accused.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 20

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.
