Brazil is a contract killer who takes any job if the price is right. Flint, another assassin, left the profession after a brutal attack by a ruthless drug dealer left his wife in a coma. When a contract is put out on the same drug dealer, both Brazil and Flint want him dead—Brazil for the money, and Flint for revenge. As they pursue the target, they are pursued in turn by corrupt Interpol agents and violent members of the criminal underworld. Forced to work together, the two assassins reluctantly team up to eliminate their target before they become the next victims.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 21

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

2011 · Box office

💰 Box-office hit — grossed 17× 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).
