Synopsis

A woman with a young family finds her life increasingly unbearable due to her husband's violent and abusive behavior, despite his professional success. After she files for divorce, she discovers that he has hired an assassin to kill her, fearing that the exposure of his personal life would harm his client relationships. The twist is that the hired assassin is actually an FBI agent. The FBI persuades her to "pretend" to have been murdered in order to gather evidence and prove her husband's involvement in the plot.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 18

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.
