Synopsis

Deathstalker, a warrior, is given a mission by an old witch to retrieve and unite the three powers of creation—a chalice, an amulet, and a sword—before the evil magician Munkar can claim them and use them for his own purposes. After obtaining the sword, Deathstalker joins a group of travelers heading to the Big Tournament, a competition to determine the strongest warrior. Meanwhile, a false king holds the true princess captive and plots to have Deathstalker killed. To succeed in his mission, Deathstalker must fight to rescue the princess and complete his quest.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 16

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.

Box Office

1983 · Box office

💰 Box-office hit — grossed 26× 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).
