Identity Thief
A man's life unravels when he falls for an identity theft scam, leading to a chain of events that traps him in a web of false accusations and forces him to team up with his renegade co-workers to clear his name.
“She's having the time of his life”
Synopsis
A mild-mannered businessman discovers his identity has been stolen and embarks on a journey to stop the thief, a quest that leads him into the path of a woman who appears deceptively harmless.

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 5.0× 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).
