Army of Shadows
A betrayed French Resistance fighter escapes a Nazi prison camp and returns to occupied Marseille, determined to exact vengeance on his informant while risking everything to keep the underground war alive.
“Betrayal. Loyalty. Collaboration. Resistance.”
Synopsis
Philippe Gerbier is betrayed by an informant and captured, ending up in a brutal Nazi prison camp. After escaping, he rejoins the Resistance in occupied Marseilles, France, and takes revenge on the person who betrayed him. He then continues to fight the Nazis in a low-key, ongoing struggle marked by tension, paranoia, and a pervasive sense of distrust.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 18
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.
