Synopsis

An American submarine departs from Tierra Del Fuego, but one of its crew members has secretly brought aboard a container filled with poisonous snakes. The snakes escape from storage and bite several key personnel, triggering an accident that severely damages the submarine, causing it to sink to the bottom of the Southern Ocean. Compounding the crisis, the snakes remain loose inside the vessel, hindering the crew's attempts to escape the sunken submarine.

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.
