Rango
A theater‑obsessed chameleon stranded in the Mojave must brave a lawless animal frontier town and outwit a ruthless outlaw to survive and claim his own legend.
“No man can walk out of his own story.”
Synopsis
Rango, a lost family pet, ends up in the dusty, Western-style town of Dirt and is mistaken for a hero, quickly becoming the town's new sheriff. As the town's last hope, Rango must embrace his role and investigate the cause of a growing water shortage before the truth undermines his performance.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
A crew of 186+ 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 1.8× 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).
