Synopsis

An underwater volcanic eruption off the coast of Ireland exposes the sea bed, leading two treasure hunters to discover a gigantic prehistoric monster released from the earth’s crust. After capturing the creature, they transport it to London, where it is named “Gorgo” and placed on public display. Unbeknownst to them, Gorgo is an infant, and its much larger mother later emerges from the depths to seek revenge for her offspring’s capture.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 17

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.
