The Old Man & the Gun
A charismatic octogenarian bank robber refuses to hang up his guns, embarking on a daring spree of heists while a relentless detective closes in and a woman is drawn into his dangerous charm.
“This story is mostly true.”
Synopsis
This is the true story of Forrest Tucker, who at the age of 70 escaped from San Quentin Prison and embarked on a series of heists that baffled law enforcement and fascinated the public. As he carried out these crimes, a detective becomes increasingly intrigued by Forrest's dedication to his criminal activities, while a woman develops feelings for him despite his lifestyle.

A crew of 68+ 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.

📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.7× 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).
