The League of Gentlemen
“What is the league ... Who are the gentlemen ?”
Synopsis
Colonel Hyde, who was involuntarily retired, gathers seven other disgruntled former military personnel for a unique assignment. Each man has personal issues, financial difficulties, and specialized service training in his area of expertise. The mission is to rob a bank, and Hyde, along with his second-in-command Race, enforces strict military discipline and strategy in planning the operation, though civilian conflicts begin to disrupt their efforts.

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.
