Miami Blues
“Real badge. Real gun. Fake cop.”
Synopsis
After being released from prison, Junior intends to begin a fresh life in Miami. However, he kills a man at the airport and flees the scene, where he encounters Susie, a quiet and unassuming prostitute seeking stability. The two, despite their differences, develop a romantic relationship. Junior steals a badge and gun from a veteran detective and assumes the officer's identity, using it to launch a crime spree. He convinces Susie that he is the ideal partner.

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.
