Synopsis

Rookie race-car driver Jimmy Bly is beginning to lose his focus and is slipping in the race rankings. The pressure comes from multiple sources, including his overly ambitious promoter brother and his romantic involvement with Sophia, the girlfriend of his arch-rival. To help Bly regain his edge, car owner Carl Henry brings in former racing star Joe Tanto. Tanto must overcome emotional scars from a tragic racing accident that nearly cost him his life in order to guide Bly back to the top of the rankings.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

A crew of 63+ credited

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 0.6× 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).
