Twilight's Last Gleaming
“We have invaded Silo 3. We are prepared to launch nine nuclear missiles. We demand ten million dollars, Air Force One... and you, Mr President.”
Synopsis
A renegade U.S. Air Force general, Lawrence Dell, escapes from a military prison and takes control of an ICBM silo near Montana. He threatens to trigger World War III unless the President discloses details of a secret meeting held shortly after the start of the Vietnam War between Dell and the then President.

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.
