Rudy: The Rudy Giuliani Story
“He divided a city. He united a nation.”
Synopsis
A biographic film about Rudy Giuliani, the witty, overachieving, and hot-tempered former New York City mayor, chronicles his rise from district attorney in the early 1980s through his marriage to part-time actress Donna Hanover. It covers his mayoral campaign and his controversial strategies to address crime and urban issues in New York City. The film also details his romantic relationship with his assistant, Cristyne Lategano, which contributed to the end of his marriage, and his battle with prostate cancer. The narrative culminates with the events of September 11, 2001, when Giuliani narrowly avoided death as suicide terrorists hijacked and crashed two passenger airliners into the twin towers of the World Trade Center, causing their collapse. Giuliani's resilience and spirited demeanor helped calm the city's residents during the chaos, earning him recognition as a national hero.

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.
