Synopsis

Raven, a professional killer, successfully carries out a hit, believing his target to be an ordinary individual. However, he soon finds himself the subject of a large-scale manhunt, as he has unknowingly killed a prominent senator. To evade capture, Raven takes a woman named Anne hostage, though he later releases her. Anne becomes intrigued by Raven, a development that unsettles her boyfriend, who is one of the officers pursuing him. As Raven evades the authorities, he also attempts to uncover the identity of the person who orchestrated the setup and the reason behind it.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 24

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.
