Seventeen‑year‑old Ree Dolly must track down her missing meth‑maker father before a court deadline forces her family out of their home, pitting her against ruthless criminals and a relentless sheriff in a desperate fight for survival.
“Talking just causes witnesses.”
Synopsis
When her father puts their home up for his bail bond and then vanishes, 17-year-old Ree Dolly is forced to navigate the dangerous world of local crime and the unforgiving Ozark wilderness in an effort to find him and protect her family.

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 hit — grossed 6.9× 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).
