Crime of the Century
Synopsis
In 1932, the Lindbergh baby was kidnapped, held for ransom, and later found murdered, shocking the nation. Two years later, Bruno Richard Hauptmann was arrested, convicted, and executed for the crime. The film dramatizes the investigation into Hauptmann, his trial, and his execution, depicting a corrupt police force under pressure to identify a killer, which allegedly framed an innocent man by fabricating evidence, bribing and blackmailing witnesses, and concealing exculpatory evidence.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 19
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.
