Jack the Giant Slayer
When peasant Jack acquires a stolen crown that can command the giant beings awakened by magical beanstalks, he must outwit a power‑hungry lord and rally the kingdom’s forces to stop the towering menace before it razes the realm.
“Prepare for a giant adventure”
Synopsis
A young farmhand accidentally opens a portal between the human world and a fearsome race of giants, reigniting an ancient war. The giants, long banished, emerge once more to reclaim the land they once ruled, thrusting the farmhand, Jack, into a battle for survival. As he fights to defend the kingdom, its people, and the love of a courageous princess, Jack confronts the very warriors he believed were only legends—and discovers the opportunity to forge his own legend.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
A crew of 953+ credited
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.

⚖️ Fell short of break-even — grossed 1.0× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
