Synopsis

National Geographic's *Incredible Human Machine* presents a two-hour exploration of the human body through the lens of an ordinary yet remarkable day. Featuring high-definition footage, recent scientific advancements, and personal testimonies, the program delves into the everyday wonders of the body's functions. Viewers witness the body's routine processes—10,000 blinks, 20,000 breaths, and 100,000 heartbeats—while also encountering extraordinary medical achievements. These include footage of an open-brain surgery and a real-time look at the vocal cords of musician Steven Tyler.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 13

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.
