Synopsis

Kevin, Sam, and Rob share an unusual hobby: devising elaborate, foolproof heist plans without any intention of carrying them out. Their game takes a dangerous turn when their latest plan is stolen and executed in real life. The situation escalates further when a mysterious man approaches them with a proposition: plan a heist for him, or face jail. As time runs out, they realize the risks may extend far beyond their own freedom.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 19

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.

📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.1× 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).
