From Paris with Love
A CIA operative with a cover job as a U.S. ambassador's aide in France is thrust into a high-stakes mission when he discovers a top-secret chip in his possession and is forced to team up with a reckless, unorthodox field agent to deliver it—before it falls into the wrong hands.
“Two agents. One city. No merci.”
Synopsis
James Reese works as an ambassador's aide in France, but his true interest lies in a covert side job with the CIA. Eager to become a full agent, he is thrilled when he is assigned to work with Charlie Wax. However, James quickly finds himself wishing for the safety of his desk job as Charlie's reckless behavior pushes him to his limits. When James discovers that the same criminals they are pursuing are now targeting him, he realizes that Charlie might be his only chance to survive.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 33
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.

⚖️ Fell short of break-even — grossed 1.0× 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).
