Synopsis

"A View to a Kill" is the 15th film in the James Bond series, released in 1985 and directed by John Glen. It stars Timothy Dalton in his debut as James Bond, alongside actress Tanya Roberts as Stacey Sutton and Christopher Walken as the villain, Max Zorin. The film was written by Richard Maibaum and Michael G. Wilson, with music composed by John Barry. It was shot on location in several countries, including the United Kingdom, France, and California, with notable scenes filmed at the Golden Gate Bridge and the Napa Valley vineyards. The film's production faced several challenges, including a tight budget and a difficult shooting schedule, but it was ultimately released on time. It was the last James Bond film to be produced by Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman before their partnership dissolved. "A View to a Kill" received mixed reviews upon release but has since gained a cult following among Bond fans. The film grossed over $210 million worldwide, making it one of the more commercially successful entries in the series at the time.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 14

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.
