The Heat
FBI agent Sarah Ashburn teams with hot‑headed Boston detective Shannon Mullins to take down a powerful drug lord, but their clashing methods threaten to unravel the high‑stakes operation before they can bring him to justice.
“They're just trying to stay alive long enough to kill each other.”
Synopsis
FBI Special Agent Sarah Ashburn is a meticulous investigator known for her high standards and a reputation for excellence, though she is also recognized for her arrogance. Shannon Mullins, a Boston P.D. officer, is known for her sharp tongue, quick temper, and reliance on instinct and street knowledge to solve difficult cases. Neither has previously worked with a partner or formed close friendships. When the two are paired to take down a dangerous drug lord, they unexpectedly develop a bond.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 34
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 5.3× 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).
