Synopsis

In the context of drone warfare, combat is often likened to a video game, though with real-world consequences. Air Force pilot Tom Egan, having completed six tours of duty, now engages in combat operations against the Taliban from a climate-controlled facility in the Nevada desert. As Egan grows eager to return to piloting actual aircraft and becomes increasingly distressed over the unintended casualties resulting from his remote actions, his mental state and his marriage begin to deteriorate.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 22

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.
