Night and the City
A down‑on‑his‑luck con man schemes to swindle a powerful industrialist for cash, only to find his own brother’s political corruption and the victim’s ruthless retaliation threatening to destroy everything he’s built.
“The inside story of London after dark.”
Synopsis
Londoner Harry Fabian is a second-rate con man looking for an opportunity. After years of enduring Harry's schemes, his wife, Alice, has had enough and leaves him. Desperate for money and a new mark, Harry turns to his brother, Jack, a corrupt politician, for help. Jack arranges for Harry to meet Sir John Holden, a wealthy industrialist, under the pretense that Harry is a respected financial advisor. As Harry begins to manipulate Holden, he becomes increasingly entangled in a web of deceit that threatens to unravel everything.

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.
