Eddie the Eagle
A determined underdog British ski jumper fights bureaucratic indifference and personal doubt to qualify for the 1988 Winter Olympics, risking ridicule and failure to prove that dreams can soar against all odds.
“Win or lose, always aim high.”
Synopsis
Michael "Eddie" Edwards is the unlikely but courageous British ski jumper who never stopped believing in himself—even as an entire nation counted him out. With the support of a rebellious and charismatic coach, Eddie challenges the establishment and wins the hearts of sports fans around the world with an improbable and historic performance at the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics.

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.
