Synopsis

When Norwegian resistance leader Lieutenant Erik Bergman reports the location of a German V‑2 rocket fuel plant, the Royal Air Force’s 633 Squadron receives orders to destroy it. The plant is situated in a seemingly impregnable position beneath an overhanging cliff at the end of a long, narrow fjord that is lined with anti‑aircraft guns. The only method for destroying the plant involves collapsing the cliff above it.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 21

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.
