Alien Cargo
Synopsis
After eight months of hyper-sleep, Christopher "Chris" McNiel (Jason London) and Theta Kaplan (Missy Crider), crew members of the Mars cargo transport ship Solar System Shipping Vessel No. 17 (Triple S-17), awaken to find that something has gone seriously wrong. They have overslept by nearly ten months, the ship is severely damaged, off course, and nearly out of fuel. It is also discovered that the first crew shift had killed each other. As the story progresses, a truly sinister presence is uncovered aboard the ship—an alien biological life form capable of psychologically manipulating humans.

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.
