Synopsis

While flying at 40,000 feet in a state-of-the-art aircraft she helped design, Kyle Pratt's six-year-old daughter, Julia, disappears without a trace. Or so it seems. No one else on the plane believes Julia was ever on board, leaving Kyle—desperate and alone—to rely solely on her own wits to uncover the truth and save her daughter.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

A crew of 273+ 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.

Box Office

2005 · Box office

💰 Box-office hit — grossed 4.1× 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).
