18 Again!
“His mind was 81. His body was 18. When Jack Watson found his fountain of youth, it overflowed with comedy.”
Synopsis
81-year-old millionaire Jack Watson switches bodies with his 18-year-old grandson David, leading the two to experience life on opposite ends of the age spectrum. But when David, trapped in Jack's body, begins to enjoy the privileges and freedom of being wealthy and old, Jack must navigate the challenges of being young and broke. As their lives become increasingly complicated, the two must work together to find a way to switch back before their lives are permanently changed.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 27
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.
