Crank
A lethal hitman tasked with eliminating a rival mob boss must outwit a treacherous underling who drugs him with a fatal serum and plots to usurp his position, forcing him into a desperate fight for survival and control of the crime empire.
“There are a thousand ways to raise your adrenaline. Today, Chev Chelios will need every single one.”
Synopsis
Chev Chelios, a hit man who wants to leave the profession, allows his most recent target to escape. The following morning he receives a phone call telling him that he has been poisoned and will die within an hour unless he maintains a constant flow of adrenaline while searching for an antidote.

The scale of the collaboration
A crew of 71+ 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.

✅ Made its money back — grossed 3.6× 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).
