A veteran mariner on a solo voyage in the Indian Ocean awakens to discover his ship taking on water after colliding with a stray shipping container. His radio and navigation equipment are disabled, leaving him to sail unknowingly into a violent storm. He barely survives the ordeal, now stranded with dwindling supplies and sharks circling nearby. Hoping ocean currents will carry him into a shipping lane, the sailor confronts the reality of his own mortality.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

A crew of 179+ 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.

Box Office

2013 · Box office

📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.7× 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).
