When housewife Frances Hannon is kidnapped and buried alive, detective Madeline Foster is called in to investigate. With just 24 hours before Frances runs out of oxygen, Madeline follows the trail of a killer who refers to himself as Harry Houdini. After apprehending him, Madeline takes Harry back to the police station, but he refuses to reveal where Frances is buried. As time dwindles, Harry begins to manipulate and infiltrate the mind of the unstable, alcoholic Madeline.

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.
