The movie, "The Captive (244761)" isn't returning any images at the API level but the website shows 36 posters and 11 backdrops. Below is an example API call that is returning no images. It also happens with a smaller indie film "TRI (390209)".

Hi Chris,
Take a look at this doc for more details about why this is happening. You'll want to start using the
include_image_languageparameter.
