Synopsis

Set in a dystopian Detroit, grand mansions that once belonged to the wealthy have become the strongholds of the city's most dangerous criminals. A massive wall surrounds the area, intended to protect the rest of the city from the dangers within. Undercover cop Damien Collier faces daily challenges as he fights against corruption, determined to bring justice to the man who killed his father, Tremaine. At the same time, Damien teams up with an ex-convict named Lino to thwart a plot that threatens to destroy the city.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 25

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

Made its money back — grossed 2.6× 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).
