Synopsis

Maggie, a conservative corporate lawyer, finds herself in a difficult professional and personal situation when she is forced to take on her estranged father in court. The two had grown apart years earlier when Maggie discovered his numerous affairs, which led to a rift between them. Now, in an effort to secure a promotion, Maggie agrees to defend an automobile manufacturer accused of producing station wagons prone to explosions. As the trial unfolds, tensions rise between father and daughter, with the legal battle becoming increasingly personal and contentious. Meanwhile, Maggie's mother pleads for reconciliation, caught in the middle of the escalating conflict.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 23

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.
