Courageous
Three police officers fight crime on the streets while racing against time to reconnect with their drifting children, confronting personal doubt and danger as they strive to become the fathers God intended them to be.
“Honor Begins at Home”
Synopsis
Law enforcement officers Adam Mitchell, Nathan Hayes, and their partners confront the challenges of the streets with confidence and determination. However, they face an equally difficult challenge in their personal lives: fatherhood. While they understand that God desires to turn the hearts of fathers to their children, they struggle as their children begin to drift away. When tragedy strikes, these men are forced to confront their hopes, fears, faith, and roles as fathers. Can a newfound sense of urgency help them grow closer to God and to their children?

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 17
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.

💰 Box-office hit — grossed 36× 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).
