A Midnight Clear
“At the frontlines of life, near the end of innocence, came the beginning of manhood.”
Synopsis
In 1944 in France, an American intelligence squad discovers a German platoon that wishes to surrender rather than participate in Germany's final major war offensive. The two groups of soldiers, temporarily isolated from the ongoing conflict, set aside their hostilities and spend Christmas together. However, as the surrender plan goes awry, both sides are forced back into combat against each other.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 20
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.
