Bicentennial Man
A household robot programmed to serve discovers the power of emotion and creativity, leading to a forbidden bond with a young girl that challenges his programming and threatens his existence.
“One robot's 200 year journey to become an ordinary man.”
Synopsis
Richard Martin purchases a new NDR-114 robot as a gift, which is named Andrew by the youngest child in the family. *Bicentennial Man* chronicles the life of Andrew, a robot initially bought as a household appliance designed to perform menial tasks. As Andrew begins to develop emotions and creative thinking, the Martin family realizes that he is not an ordinary robot.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 33
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.

📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.9× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
