Caddyshack
A working-class high school student desperate for a college scholarship navigates the cutthroat world of a wealthy golf club, where alliances, egos, and a rogue gopher threaten to upend his dreams.
“Some people just don't belong.”
Synopsis
At an exclusive country club, Danny Noonan, an ambitious young caddy, seeks a caddy scholarship to fund his college education and escape a future working at a lumber yard. To achieve his goal, he must first gain the favor of the elitist Judge Smails and then win the caddy golf tournament that Smails sponsors.

The scale of the collaboration
A crew of 177+ 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.

💰 Box-office hit — grossed 6.6× 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).
