Synopsis

U.S. Army soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division are engaged in combat in the mountainous region of Bastogne, Belgium, during December 1944. Holley and his fellow American troops have already witnessed the death of one of their number, Roderigues, due to enemy fire. The soldiers attempt to repel a new wave of Nazi assaults, but they are in urgent need of a shift in the weather. Without clear skies, they cannot receive the necessary air support.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 16

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.
