Criminal
A relentless CIA operative must outsmart a ghostly hacker who’s weaponizing digital chaos, before his next cyber‑attack triggers a global catastrophe.
“The mission is in the memories.”
Synopsis
CIA Agent Bill Pope is on a mission to track down a shadowy hacker named Gabriel Shear. Shear is known for his ability to infiltrate secure systems and has evaded capture for years. Pope's pursuit leads him to cross paths with a group of computer experts who have been targeted by Shear. As Pope delves deeper into the case, he discovers that Shear's actions are part of a larger, more dangerous plot. The film follows Pope's efforts to stop Shear before he can carry out his next move, which could have catastrophic consequences.

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.

📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.5× 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).
