Synopsis

Charlie Muffin is a top British Intelligence operative who has recently dismantled a major Soviet spy network in England. However, a new Director with different approaches assumes leadership and seeks to remove Charlie from his position. At the same time, a high-ranking Soviet spy-master indicates a desire to defect, prompting both British Intelligence and the CIA to pursue him aggressively. Charlie may be the only person capable of ensuring the defection's success, but the situation raises the question of whether the entire operation is a carefully orchestrated deception. With both sides—British and Soviet—engaging in backstabbing to secure the prize, Charlie must determine who, if anyone, he can trust.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 19

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.
