Daylight
A skilled rescue operative must lead a handful of terrified survivors through a shattered Hudson River tunnel teeming with toxic fumes before the crumbling structure collapses forever.
“No air. No escape. No time.”
Synopsis
A group of armed robbers evading the police flee toward the New Jersey Tunnel, where they collide with trucks carrying toxic waste. The resulting explosion is spectacular, causing both ends of the tunnel to collapse. A small number of individuals survive the blast but now find themselves in grave danger. Kit Latura is the only person with the necessary skills and knowledge to guide the survivors out of the tunnel before it fully collapses.

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 2.0× 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).
