747: The Jumbo Revolution
“Boeing 747”
Synopsis
At any given moment, hundreds of people are flying above us in a Boeing 747. Since the first jumbo jet took off in 1969, it has been the standard by which all other aircraft are measured. However, its 45-year history has been marked by both challenges and achievements. This is the definitive account of the Boeing 747, covering its milestones, triumphs, turning points, and disasters. Its history is explored through rare archival footage and firsthand accounts from pilots, engineers, designers, and passengers who were present at its inception.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 18
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.
