Centurion
A lone Roman survivor enlists in the legendary Ninth Legion to crush a savage Pictish warband, but as they march north he discovers that the true enemy may be the legion’s own dark secrets.
“History is written in blood”
Synopsis
In the year 117 AD, Quintus Dias, the only survivor of a Pictish attack on a Roman frontier fort, joins General Virilus' famed Ninth Legion as it marches north. The legion is tasked with eradicating the Picts and eliminating their leader, Gorlacon.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 35
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 0.6× 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).
