Henry V
Synopsis
In 1415, in the midst of the Hundred Years' War, King Henry V of England launched an invasion of France. After crossing the English Channel with a force of approximately 6,000 men, Henry marched toward the French city of Harfleur, which he besieged for nearly a month. The siege weakened his army, and as he led his forces northward toward Calais, they were ambushed by a larger French force at the small village of Agincourt. The Battle of Agincourt, fought on October 25, 1415, became one of the most famous engagements of the war. Despite being outnumbered and facing difficult, muddy terrain, the English, armed with longbows and employing effective tactics, achieved a decisive victory over the French. The battle is remembered for its dramatic circumstances and has been the subject of historical analysis and artistic depictions, including Shakespeare's play *Henry V*.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 34
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.
