Synopsis

In 1590, Coronado sent a division of one thousand men to search for El Dorado, the legendary city of gold. None of those men were ever seen again. During an archaeological expedition on the Baja peninsula, a university professor and his students accidentally awaken a long-dormant curse while exploring caves. They soon become embroiled in a life-or-death battle with an army of skeletal warriors, the undead remains of Coronado's conquistadors.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 20

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.
