Synopsis

Because of personal reasons, California police agent George Camarena requests and is given permission to take on a drug lord and his men in Mexico. Despite marital problems and the worries of his aged mother, he departs for Mexico knowing full well the enormous difficulties that lay ahead. Working among killers to get clues, he winds up with few answers after gun battles to the death. The only good card he holds may be his connection with a woman in the gang, Alejandra.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 13

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.
