The Clan
A charismatic Argentine patriarch transforms his elite family into ruthless kidnappers, prompting a determined investigator to race against time to halt their deadly ransom scheme before it shatters the nation’s upper class.
“The true story of Argentina's most notorious crime family”
Synopsis
In Argentina, between 1982 and 1985, the Puccios, a well-established family from San Isidro, an upper-class suburb of Buenos Aires, kidnapped several people and held them as hostages in exchange for a ransom.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 32
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.

💰 Box-office hit — grossed 5.8× 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).
