Vantage Point
When a U.S. President is gunned down and bombed at a high‑stakes summit in Salamanca, a vigilant Secret Service agent races against time to uncover the hidden assailants and prevent further carnage before chaos engulfs the city.
“8 strangers. 8 points of view. 1 truth.”
Synopsis
At an historic counter-terrorism summit in Spain, the President of the United States is assassinated by a bullet fired by an assassin. Eight strangers witness the event from an ideal vantage point, but the accuracy of their recollections is called into question. As the moments preceding the fatal shot are reviewed from the perspective of each eyewitness, a clearer picture of the assassination begins to emerge.

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.

✅ Made its money back — grossed 3.8× 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).
