Synopsis

Danton and Robespierre were close friends and fought together during the French Revolution. However, by 1793, Robespierre had become the de facto ruler of France, enforcing a campaign of mass executions known as the Reign of Terror to eliminate opposition. Danton, a prominent voice for the people, had been living in relative seclusion in the French countryside but returned to Paris to oppose Robespierre's violent policies and urge the public to assert their rights. Unable to tolerate this challenge, even from a former friend and ally, Robespierre orchestrated a plan to capture and execute Danton and his supporters.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 22

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.
