Synopsis

Davey Osborne is an 11-year-old boy with an active imagination who spends much of his time playing video games and pretending to be a spy alongside his imaginary father figure, Jack Flack. This fantasy serves as a substitute for his real father, who is coping with the recent death of Davey's mother. Davey's life takes a dramatic turn when he witnesses the murder of an FBI agent, who, before dying, hands him a mysterious video game cartridge called *Cloak & Dagger*, which actually contains classified government information. Along with his younger friend Kim and tech-savvy companion Morris, and with some guidance from his fictional secret agent mentor, Davey must evade pursuers and navigate a real-life espionage game in the streets of San Antonio, Texas.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 20

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.
