Synopsis

Paul and Kathy Plunk purchase a small motel in a remote mountain area of Oregon, seeking a quiet life. Their peace is disrupted when two guests arrive and are revealed to be fugitive criminals being hunted by the police. In need of money, the criminals attack the Plunks and force them to withdraw all their funds from the bank. However, the ordeal is far from over, as the criminals take the Plunks and their infant child hostage.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 21

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.
