Synopsis

Nicholas Cain (Peter Mark Richman), a former high-level mob lawyer who decides to leave the criminal underworld. Seeking redemption, he becomes a federal government agent with a singular mission: to bring down the nation's 100 most dangerous and influential organized crime figures. The film depicts the specialized government agents as they hunt these high-profile crooks, focusing on Cain's personal crusade to dismantle the very syndicates he once protected. Based on the "Cain's Hundred" TV series.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 19

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.
