Synopsis

Zed is an American expert in cracking vaults who travels to Paris to meet his old friend Eric. Eric and his crew have planned to rob the city's only bank, which remains open on Bastille Day. After agreeing to help, Zed becomes entangled in a chaotic and dangerous situation as heroin addiction, flawed planning, and a call-girl named Zoe combine to turn the heist into a violent and deadly siege.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 19

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.

Box Office

1993 · Box office

📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.3× 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).
