Ride Along

Undercover detective James Payton must dismantle a deadly passport‑smuggling ring before it hits the streets, all while forcing a jittery rookie into a high‑stakes ride‑along that could win him his sister’s hand and jeopardize the case.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

A crew of 270+ 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.

2014 · Box office

💰 Box-office hit — grossed 6.2× 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).
