The Adventures of Huck Finn
“For anyone who has ever dreamed of running away from it all”
Synopsis
Mischievous Huck Finn is unsettled when his father, who has been absent for years, reappears and kidnaps him in an effort to claim a $600 inheritance from his late mother. Concerned for his safety, Huck pretends to die and flees. He soon encounters his friend Jim, a slave escaping from his owner. The two set out together on a raft journey down the Mississippi River, evading pursuers who mistakenly believe the slave is responsible for Huck's disappearance.

The scale of the collaboration
A crew of 47+ 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 3.7× 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).
