The Devil's Advocate
A brilliant defense attorney who’s never lost a case must choose between his relentless pursuit of courtroom victories and the unraveling of his marriage as he defends increasingly corrupt, murderous clients whose secrets threaten to destroy everything he loves.
“The newest attorney at the world's most powerful law firm has never lost a case. But he's about to lose his soul.”
DramaFantasyMystery
Synopsis
Kevin Lomax, an aspiring defense lawyer from Florida, takes a job at a prestigious New York law firm. As the pressure mounts with each case, Kevin begins to suspect that his powerful boss has a far more sinister agenda in mind.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
A crew of 100+ 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 2.7× 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).
