The Parent Trap
Twin teens separated at birth team up to swap lives, scheme to expose a scheming suitor and reunite their divorced parents before the summer ends.
“Caught in a merry marital mix-up!”
Synopsis
Two twin sisters, separated at birth due to their parents' divorce, are reunited years later at a summer camp. Determined to reunite their parents, the girls—each having grown up with one parent—hatch a plan to bring them back together. After the camp ends, they switch places and begin executing their scheme, starting with the goal of driving away a gold-digger who is pursuing their father.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 16
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.
