Terminator Genisys
A Resistance soldier volunteers to travel back in time to protect Sarah Connor from a deadly Terminator, only to be thrust into a temporal paradox that forces him to battle a rogue reprogrammed T‑800 and confront alternate memories before humanity’s fate is sealed.
“Reset the future.”
Synopsis
The year is 2029. John Connor, leader of the resistance, continues the war against the machines. During the Los Angeles offensive, John is wounded and taken to a secret resistance hospital. While he recovers, the resistance prepares for an upcoming attack on a key Skynet facility. John's leadership remains crucial as the war enters a critical phase.

A crew of 89+ 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.

✅ Made its money back — grossed 2.8× 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).
