Truth
A determined CBS producer races to expose a bombshell presidential secret, only to have her sources turn hostile and the evidence crumble, threatening both her career and the nation's trust in the media.
“Based on the story behind the story.”
Synopsis
Mary Mapes, a respected producer and close collaborator of Dan Rather, becomes convinced that she has uncovered the most significant story of the 2004 election: new information regarding the military service record of a sitting U.S. President. However, as accusations arise, key sources alter their accounts, the authenticity of supporting documents is called into question, and the controversy begins to have serious consequences.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 25
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.

📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.6× 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).
