U.S. Marshals

When senior deputy U.S. Marshal Samuel Gerard learns that a ruthless assassin has stolen top‑secret UN files and vanished, he must rally his elite team across the country to track the killer before the stolen intelligence triggers an international crisis.

The cop who won't stop is back. But this time he's chasing down a lot more than a fugitive.

Synopsis

U.S. Marshal Sam Gerard is transporting a group of convicts by plane from Chicago to New York when the aircraft crashes. Among the survivors is Mark Sheridan, who manages to escape. Diplomatic Security Agent John Royce is then assigned to assist Gerard in capturing Sheridan, and it soon becomes evident that Sheridan is not an ordinary criminal.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

A crew of 290+ 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

1998 · Box office

⚖️ Fell short of break-even — grossed 1.7× 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).
