Hostage
Synopsis
The Driver is hired by the FBI to assist in resolving a hostage situation. A disgruntled employee has taken a CEO hostage, concealing her and demanding $5,088,042. The Driver delivers the money, writing the amount on his hand as instructed by the hostage taker. After being told that he holds the life of a person in his hand, he is ordered to burn the money. As he does so, federal agents enter and attempt to subdue the hostage taker, who shoots himself in the head before revealing the woman's location. The Driver then tries to rescue the hostage before she drowns in the trunk of a sinking car. As a twist, the kidnapped woman is revealed to be the hostage taker's lover, who coldly taunts the dying man in the hospital.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 21
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.
