Synopsis

A story centered on two accomplished professionals—one a police officer, the other a criminal—who discover they are more alike than they realize. Vincent Hanna, a dedicated and driven cop, is pursuing Patrick McLaren, a dangerous and ruthless armed robber. Following a failed heist, the two men come face to face in an intense confrontation that escalates into a full-scale battle through the gritty streets of Los Angeles.

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.
