Synopsis

Set in 2027, one year after the conclusion of the fourth non-nuclear war, the story takes place in New Port City, which is still recovering from the war's aftermath when it is struck by a bombing caused by a self-propelled mine. Shortly after, a military member involved in arms-dealing bribes is killed in a shooting. During the investigation, Daisuke Aramaki of the Public Security Section meets Motoko Kusanagi, a cyborg and elite-level hacker assigned to the military's 501st Secret Unit. Batou, known for his "eye that does not sleep," suspects Kusanagi of being responsible for the bombing. Meanwhile, Togusa, a detective from the Niihama Prefectural Police, is investigating both the shooting death and the murder of a prostitute. Motoko Kusanagi is under surveillance by Kurutsu, the head of the 501st Secret Unit, and other cyborg agents.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 23

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.
