Synopsis

The film covers the life, work and significance in science of János Neumann, one of the 20th century’s most brilliant, Hungarian-born scientists. Several of his great contemporaries – including Ede Teller, György Pólya, Jenő Wigner, Isaac Asimov, Julian Bigelow, Herman Goldstine and George B. Dantzig – remember the world-famous mathematician and relate their personal experiences with him. Archive footage, photos and original documents all help in understanding the historical and scientific context.

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.

Craft leads on file
