Match Point
A recently retired tennis star takes a teaching job at an elite London club, only to become entangled in a passionate love triangle that threatens his new marriage and the powerful family's secrets.
“There are no little secrets.”
Synopsis
Chris, a former professional tennis player, takes a job as an instructor and forms a friendship with his wealthy young student, Tom. After being introduced to Tom's family, Chris is soon engaged to Tom's sister, Chloe. Although the relationship offers him professional and financial benefits, Chris becomes increasingly fixated on Tom's fiancée, American actress Nola.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 28
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 hit — grossed 5.7× 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).
