Synopsis

The colony world of Actium, a decaying and wretched planet, is ruled by the authoritarian Grand-Automaton Polpox, whose ego fuels its decline. A government-led extermination campaign targets the Laffrodites, a religious minority, while Polpox distracts the population with a grand carnival and the brutal spectacle of Actium Maximus, a gladiatorial event in which alien dinosaurs fight to the death in a massive Colosseum. Space Hunter Axezun is tasked with scouting the farthest reaches of the galaxy to find new combatants for the arena. Alongside his crew, Axezun discovers not only bloodthirsty creatures but also a secret that has the potential to change life across the galaxy forever.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 10

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.
