Synopsis

Two Soviet citizens, who had never met before, are accidentally transported to the planet Pluke in the Kin-dza-dza galaxy after coming into contact with an alien teleportation device. Stranded on the alien world, they must navigate a severe language barrier and unfamiliar Plukian social customs, as well as the strange physical laws governing space and time, in order to find a way back to Earth.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 18

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.
