Powder Keg
Synopsis
The Driver is recruited by the United Nations to extract a wounded war photographer named Harvey Jacobs from a war zone. During their escape, Jacobs recounts the atrocities he has witnessed through his lens, expressing regret for his inability to assist those affected by the conflict. When the Driver asks Jacobs why he became a photographer, Jacobs replies that his mother taught him to see. Before they reach safety, Jacobs hands the Driver a roll of film containing evidence for a New York Times story, along with his dog tags to be given to his mother. As they approach the border, a guard attempts to draw weapons, prompting Jacobs to take photographs in an apparent attempt to provoke a fatal response. The Driver speeds through gunfire to reach the border, but Jacobs is fatally shot through the seat. Upon arriving in America, the Driver visits Jacobs' mother to inform her of his son's Pulitzer Prize win and to deliver the dog tags, only to learn that she is blind.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 21
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.
