Synopsis

An old man recounts to his grandson how football players of the past could outmatch a modern team, leading to a fictional game between Bygone U. and Present State. The matchup features Bygone U.'s 11 players against Present State's numerous specialized squads and support staff. The stadium, fans, and press are also modern, contrasting with the old-time team. The game remains close and intensely contested.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 11

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.
