Synopsis

In *Macbeth*, the title character and his wife plot to murder King Duncan in order to seize the throne, but their regicide sparks a cycle of violence that escalates beyond their control. As Macbeth becomes increasingly paranoid and ruthless, he commits further atrocities to secure his power, all while supernatural forces—particularly the witches' prophecies—play a key role in his downfall. The guilt and chaos that follow ultimately lead to the collapse of both Macbeth and his wife.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 16

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.
