Kings of the Road
Synopsis
Bruno Winter, an itinerant projection-equipment repairman, and Robert Lander, a depressed hitchhiker and doctor who has recently gone through a breakup with his wife and made a half-hearted suicide attempt, travel along the western side of the East German border in a repair truck. As they visit rundown movie theaters, the two men gradually learn to communicate despite their differences.

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.
