Synopsis

After the unexpected death of Russia’s president, an individual with virtually unknown political views assumes the presidency. The shift in leadership creates paranoia among officials of the American CIA, prompting CIA director Bill Cabot to enlist a young analyst for insight and advice on the situation. Subsequently, a nuclear bomb detonates in a U.S. city, and the United States promptly attributes responsibility to Russia.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

A crew of 953+ 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.

Box Office

2002 · Box office

✅ Made its money back — grossed 2.9× 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).
