Synopsis

Fifty years of war between the Great Eastern Federation and Europa—now merged as Eurasia—have left Earth in a state of devastation. The widespread use of biological, chemical, and nuclear weapons has rendered much of the planet uninhabitable and introduced new, deadly diseases. Professor Azuma's "neo-cell" project, intended as a solution to humanity's crises, turns into a catastrophe when the experiment produces mutants that escape and launch a war against humans. Azuma's son, Tetsuya, who died during the earlier conflict, is reborn as the cyborg Casshern, humanity's final hope in the battle against the mutant threat. This live-action science fiction film is based on a 1973 Japanese anime of the same name.

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.

⚖️ Fell short of break-even — grossed 2.1× 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).
