To some... Football's not just a game.

Synopsis

Sam Adams, a high school student, recently moves to a quiet, quintessentially American town and enrolls in its local school. Initially impressed, he is soon accepted onto the football team. However, he begins to notice unsettling behavior among his teammates, especially from the aggressive and domineering Jack "Boot" Butkowski. Sam soon uncovers that the team has positioned itself as the school's authoritarian rulers, openly emulating the SS in their conduct and bullying those who refuse to comply, while offering rewards to those who pledge unwavering loyalty. When Sam's refusal to conform leads to a violent assault on an elderly family friend, he resolves to act on his own.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 16

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.
