The Take
A Parisian pickpocket who steals a mysterious bag becomes the CIA’s prime target, forcing a seasoned field agent to decide whether to protect him as a liability or use him as the key to exposing a deadly international conspiracy.
“With law comes disorder”
Synopsis
Michael Mason is an American pickpocket living in Paris who becomes the target of the CIA after stealing a bag that contains more than just a wallet. Sean Briar, the field agent assigned to the case, quickly discovers that Michael is merely a pawn in a larger scheme and also realizes that he is the best asset in uncovering a major conspiracy.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 38
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.
