Synopsis

Five vacationers and two crew members become stranded on a tropical island near the equator. The island provides little edible food as they attempt to survive in a fungus‑covered hulk while repairing Kessei’s yacht. They eventually contend over food rations left by a former crew, and later discover an unfriendly presence on the island.

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.
