Good Morning, Vietnam
A rebellious DJ in war‑torn Saigon uses rock ’n’ roll and irreverent humor to boost troop morale, clashing with military censors who threaten to shut down his broadcast before the soldiers lose their spirit entirely.
“The wrong man. In the wrong place. At the right time.”
Synopsis
A disk jockey travels to Vietnam to work for the Armed Forces Radio Service. He gains popularity among the troops, but his superiors disapprove of his humorous style.

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 hit — grossed 9.5× 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).
