Bronson
A self-aware convict with a penchant for dark humor recounts his turbulent journey through crime and incarceration, revealing how his escalating acts of rebellion and failed attempts at justice nearly cost him his life.
“The Man. The Myth. The Celebrity.”
Synopsis
A young man sentenced to seven years in prison for robbing a post office ends up spending 30 years in solitary confinement. During this time, his own personality is supplanted by his alter ego, Charles Bronson.

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.
