Synopsis

In the unstable aftermath of a civil war, Creon, the new King of Thebes, asserts his authority by forbidding anyone from honoring the death of the traitor Polyneices. But Antigone, Polyneices' sister, defies the decree and attempts to give her brother a proper burial, believing it to be a sacred duty. Creon discovers her act of defiance and sentences her to death, leading to a tragic conflict that tests the limits of loyalty, law, and divine will.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 15

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.
