Red Eye
A grieving hotel manager must outwit a charismatic terrorist who forces her to aid an assassination attempt on the U.S. Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security, risking a citywide disaster if she fails.
“Fear takes flight.”
Synopsis
A flight to Miami turns into a desperate struggle for survival when Lisa discovers that her seatmate intends to use her in a deadly assassination plot targeting the Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security. She is given an ultimatum: comply with the plan or her father will be killed. As the flight progresses, Lisa races against time to find a way to alert the potential victims before the mission is carried out.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 32
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.

⚖️ Fell short of break-even — grossed 2.2× 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).
