Hot Pursuit
Straight‑laced cop Cooper must escort a feisty widow across Texas so she can testify against a drug lord, all while evading corrupt officers and relentless assassins who want them dead before they reach safety.
“Armed and sort of dangerous.”
Synopsis
Policewoman Cooper is assigned to escort Daniella Riva, a witty and attractive Colombian woman, from San Antonio to Dallas so she and her husband can testify against a drug lord. The mission takes a dangerous turn when Mr. Riva is ambushed, leaving Daniella a widow. Now, Cooper and Daniella must rely on their intelligence to evade corrupt police officers and armed assassins, while managing to avoid killing each other in the process.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
A crew of 118+ 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.

⚖️ Fell short of break-even — grossed 1.5× 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).
