Synopsis

Being the child of a world leader can be an isolating experience, and for young Luke Davenport, the son of U.S. President Davenport, it is no different. Surrounded by security, his movements are restricted and his every action closely monitored, making it difficult to experience a sense of normalcy. Struggling with feelings of loneliness, frustration, and separation from family and friends, Luke often takes out his emotions on his private Secret Service agent. When the agent finally snaps under the pressure in front of the First Lady, he is replaced by the imposing Sam Simms, a somewhat unconventional agent who climbed the ranks through determination rather than by following protocol. Initially, Luke attempts to test Sam with his usual tactics, but to his surprise, Sam responds with understanding rather than anger.

The scale of the collaboration

A crew of 49+ 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.
