Inside Job
A relentless filmmaker sets out to expose the hidden network of deregulated banks, politicians and academics whose collusion sparked the 2008 financial collapse, risking powerful forces to reveal the truth before history repeats itself.
“The film that cost over $20,000,000,000,000 to make.”
Synopsis
*Inside Job* is a film that examines the underlying causes of the 2008 economic crisis. The global financial meltdown, which cost over $20 trillion, led to millions of people losing their homes and jobs. Drawing on extensive research and interviews with financial insiders, politicians, and journalists, the film explores the growth of a deregulated financial industry and reveals the damaging relationships that have influenced politics, regulation, and academic institutions.

A crew of 44+ 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.

✅ Made its money back — grossed 3.9× 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).
