Gagarin: First in Space
Synopsis
The film is dedicated to the early stages of human space exploration and focuses on the fate of the first cosmonaut, Yuri Gagarin. A central theme is the struggle to be first: the competition among cosmonaut candidates, the race in missile technology, and the rivalry between the superpowers, the USSR and the USA. From three thousand fighter pilots across the country, the first group of astronauts was selected, and twenty of the most exceptional pilots were chosen as the best of the best. It was unknown at the time which of them would be the first to fly. In doing so, they had to contend not only with the pull of the Earth.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 20
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.
