Synopsis

The CIA is pursuing the mastermind behind a series of terrorist attacks. Roger Ferris is the agency's field agent, traveling from location to location in an effort to stay ahead of rapidly changing circumstances. A satellite link provides real-time surveillance of Ferris. At the other end of the connection is CIA strategist Ed Hoffman, directing operations from thousands of miles away. As Ferris closes in on the target, he learns that trust can be as dangerous as it is essential for survival.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

A crew of 971+ credited

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.

⚖️ Fell short of break-even — grossed 1.6× 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).
