Synopsis

This tense British drama presents the sinking of the Titanic in a highly realistic manner, focusing largely on the perspective of the ocean liner's second officer, Charles Lightoller. Despite receiving numerous warnings about ice in the area, the ship continues its course at a steady speed under the command of Captain Edward John Smith. When the vessel ultimately strikes an iceberg, the crew and passengers are confronted with the grim reality that there are not enough lifeboats available, leading to tragedy.

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.
