The Alto Knights
When legendary mobsters Frank Costello and Vito Genovese each scheme to seize control of New York’s criminal empire, their escalating betrayal ignites a deadly power struggle that could reshape the Mafia—and the nation—forever.
“The most dangerous enemy is an old friend.”
Synopsis
Frank Costello and Vito Genovese, two of New York's most powerful organized crime figures, compete for dominance over the city's criminal underworld. Once close allies, their relationship deteriorates due to growing jealousies and a sequence of betrayals, leading to a deadly rivalry that ultimately transforms the Mafia—and the United States—permanently.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 24
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.

📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.2× 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).
