Synopsis

Ex-government operative Bryan Mills finds his life is shattered when his daughter Kim is kidnapped. He receives a phone call from an unknown caller who tells him that she has been taken and gives him 72 hours to find her. The caller also reveals that Kim has been in the country of Montenegro for the past two years. Mills travels to Montenegro to search for her, but he is quickly discovered and must go on the run. As he tries to track down his daughter, he uncovers a conspiracy involving a corrupt government official and a group of mercenaries. With the help of an Interpol agent, Mills must navigate the dangerous terrain of Montenegro to rescue his daughter before time runs out.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

A crew of 319+ 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.

Box Office

2014 · Box office

💰 Box-office hit — grossed 6.8× 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).
