Synopsis

A dinosaur clone escapes from a scientific laboratory and swims across the Rhine River to Germany's largest lake—Lake Constance—where it begins killing innocent people. The film employs several familiar clichés, including the main characters, a divorced couple who reunite during the course of the story. The scientists had already been dismissed before the final experiment took place. Children decide to swim at night despite the known danger in the lake, and the equipment is destroyed when someone shoots at the screen.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 17

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.
