The Gunman
A retired mercenary who once assassinated a Congolese minister returns home to clear his name and expose a deadly corporate conspiracy, racing against relentless hit squads that will stop at nothing to silence him.
“Armed with the truth.”
Synopsis
Eight years after fleeing the Congo following his assassination of that country's president, Simon Killionzi returns to his homeland to confront his past and seek redemption. Now a wanted criminal, he is forced to navigate a dangerous political landscape as he uncovers a conspiracy that threatens to destabilize the nation once again. With the help of a former intelligence officer and a local journalist, Killionzi must decide whether to expose the truth or protect those who have come to rely on him. The film explores themes of guilt, justice, and the complex legacy of colonialism in modern Africa.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 40
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 0.3× 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).
