Synopsis

Set in the near future, a time marked by both hope and hardship that drives humanity to look to the stars, a mysterious phenomenon threatens to destroy life on Earth. In response, astronaut Roy McBride embarks on a perilous mission through the vastness of space to uncover the truth behind a lost expedition from decades earlier, which had ventured into the emptiness and silence in search of the unknown.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

A crew of 964+ credited

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.

⚖️ Fell short of break-even — grossed 1.5× its budget

Why 2.5×?

Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
