Sliding Doors

A London ad exec races to catch a train, and whether she makes it splits her life into two wildly different futures—one where she discovers unexpected love and career triumph, and another where she confronts loss and missed chances.

“What if one split second sent your life in two completely different directions?”

Synopsis

Helen, a London advertising executive, is fired from her job and hurries to catch a train. As she runs, her life splits into two parallel paths: in one, she successfully boards the train; in the other, she misses it. That single moment triggers a divergence in her life, and the film follows the consequences of each scenario.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 31

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.

Box Office

1998 · Box office

💰 Box-office hit — grossed 9.8× 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).
