Synopsis

The 1972 Munich Olympics were intended to showcase a new, modern Germany—open, cosmopolitan, and free. However, on the early morning of September 5, this vision was shattered when Palestinian terrorists infiltrated the Olympic Village and took the Israeli team hostage. Shortly after the attack, security forces discovered a dead Israeli athlete, and the remaining members of the team were held at gunpoint by armed militants. When the terrorists' leader requested a negotiator, Anna Gerbers, a young police officer who had initially arrived in Munich as a games steward, volunteered to take on the role.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 20

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.
