Synopsis

When a plot targeting a high-profile Middle Eastern politician is discovered, David Pollock, a professor of ancient hieroglyphics at Oxford University, is brought in to assist in uncovering the conspiracy. Pollock's task is to locate information believed to be encoded in hieroglyphics, while also dealing with a mysterious figure known as Beshraavi. At the same time, Beshraavi's lover, Yasmin Azir, appears to offer help to Pollock, though her true allegiance remains uncertain.

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.
