Synopsis

Jimmy Alto is an aspiring actor who unexpectedly lands the role of a lifetime when he becomes a vigilante crime-fighter. Assisted by his sidekick, William, who has sustained a head injury and struggles with short-term memory loss, Jimmy's efforts draw public attention. His vigilante persona becomes a media sensation, though Jimmy himself remains in the shadows, unknown to the public. His long-suffering girlfriend, Lorraine, grows increasingly frustrated with the situation.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 20

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.

📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.1× 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).
