Synopsis

In 1950, a group of unconventional criminal masterminds executes what becomes known as the robbery of the century. At the helm is Tony Pino, a petty thief recently released from prison, and Joe McGinnis, an expert in orchestrating profitable heists. Together, they rob Brink's main office in Boston, making off with over $2 million. However, complications arise as the FBI becomes involved, law enforcement intensifies its pursuit of the gang, and McGinnis refuses to relinquish control of the stolen money.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 21

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.
