Crank: High Voltage
A wounded assassin equipped with a failing artificial heart races against a ticking clock to track down the ruthless crime lord who stole his life, knowing he has only minutes left before his own body shuts down.
“He was dead... but he got better.”
Synopsis
Chelios confronts a Chinese mobster who has stolen his nearly indestructible heart and replaced it with a battery-powered artificial heart that requires regular electrical charges to function.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
A crew of 110+ 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.

⚖️ Fell short of break-even — grossed 1.7× 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).
