Pompeii
A enslaved Celtic survivor turned star gladiator fights for his freedom while battling a ruthless champion—and the imminent fury of Vesuvius that threatens to bury Pompeii alive.
“No warning. No escape.”
Synopsis
In 79 A.D., Milo, a former slave turned gladiator, races against time to rescue his beloved Cassia, the daughter of a wealthy merchant who has been forced into an engagement with a corrupt Roman senator. As Mount Vesuvius erupts in a surge of molten lava, Milo struggles to escape the arena in a desperate attempt to save her as the ancient city of Pompeii is destroyed around them.

A crew of 261+ credited
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.

⚖️ Fell short of break-even — grossed 1.2× 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).
