Crash
Los Angeles detective Graham Waters races to untangle a web of racially charged violence, police misconduct, and a high‑stakes kidnapping that threatens to upend a district attorney’s re‑election, before the truth ignites a citywide crisis.
“Moving at the speed of life, we are bound to collide with each other.”
Synopsis
In post-September 11 Los Angeles, tensions rise as the lives of a Brentwood housewife, her district attorney husband, a Persian shopkeeper, two police officers, a pair of carjackers, and a Korean couple intersect over the course of 36 hours.

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.
