Synopsis

Ellen Burstyn plays Joan Walker, a mother whose college-age son disappears while traveling from Canada to Colorado. After the police show little interest in the case, Walker takes action. She teams up with her ex-husband to search for answers, but when their son's van is discovered in Maine with stolen license plates, they grow increasingly concerned. A private investigator must now step in to uncover the disturbing reality in this gripping drama, which is based on a true story.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 18

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.
