Following the events in New York depicted in *The Avengers*, Steve Rogers—known as Captain America—resides in Washington, D.C., attempting to adapt to contemporary life. When a S.H.I.E.L.D. colleague is attacked, Rogers becomes involved in an intrigue that threatens global security. He partners with Black Widow to uncover the expanding conspiracy while contending with professional assassins assigned to silence him. As the full extent of the plot emerges, Captain America and Black Widow receive assistance from a new ally, Falcon, but they soon confront an unexpected adversary: the Winter Soldier.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

A crew of 883+ 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

2014 · Box office

💰 Box-office hit — grossed 4.2× 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).
