Synopsis

In a museum heist with an unusual twist, three thieves, each physically disabled, plan to steal a valuable statue. One uses a wheelchair, another has prosthetic hands, and the third is blind.

However, their plan faces a complication when a museum guard recognizes their method of operation and intervenes.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 17

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.
