Synopsis

Jack is discovered with the wife of his employer, a violent figure in the Vegas underworld. In response, the thug dispatches henchmen to pursue Jack, who persuades his best friend, Pilot, to escape with him. Pilot insists they travel to Seattle, though he does not explain his reasoning. The henchmen track down Pilot's drug supplier and learn of the pair's destination, then set off in pursuit, determined to cripple Jack. During their journey, Jack and Pilot pick up Cassie, a troubled young woman, with whom Jack quickly forms a connection. They also assist an elderly stoner traveling to Seattle for Kurt Cobain's memorial and offer help to a circus sideshow family. The story raises questions: why is Pilot so determined to reach Seattle, will the henchmen catch up to Jack, and can the conflicting needs of the friends be reconciled?

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.
