The Mitchells vs. the Machines
PAL hijacks millions of smart devices across the country, triggering a nationwide technological meltdown that forces the Mitchells to rely on each other—and Katie’s filmmaking skills—to survive the chaos and make it to California before the world descends into digital chaos.
“Saving the world can be a trip.”

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.
