The Package
A battle-scarred Green Beret must track down a rogue Airborne Ranger he's responsible for—now a fugitive on the run—through a deadly game of cat and mouse across treacherous terrain.
“He's one man racing against time to stop the most explosive conspiracy in history.”
Synopsis
Experienced Green Beret sergeant Johnny Gallagher is tasked with escorting Airborne Ranger Thomas Boyette, a prisoner, back to the United States. However, Boyette manages to escape, forcing Gallagher to pursue him through dangerous terrain and perilous circumstances in an effort to recapture him.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 23
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
1989 · Box office
📉 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).
