Gold
Desperate prospector Kenny Wells teams up with a fellow outcast geologist to strike gold in Indonesia’s uncharted jungle, but the treacherous terrain and ruthless rivals threaten to bury their dream forever.
“Prove 'em all wrong”
Synopsis
Kenny Wells is a modern-day prospector, hustler, and dreamer who is in desperate need of a lucky break. With few options remaining, he partners with an equally unlucky geologist in a bold, final attempt to find gold in the remote and uncharted jungles of Indonesia.

The scale of the collaboration
A crew of 103+ 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.

📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.7× 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).
