New Mexico safety investigators issued the largest fine possible against the producers of the movie “Rust,” saying Alec Baldwin’s fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was the result of “plain indifference” to gun safety.

The findings were based on more than 1,500 hours of staff time, 14 interviews and review of 566 documents, the state’s OHSB investigators said.
