Synopsis

The people of the planet Aeon live under the light of six suns and have never known night. When an archaeological dig reveals signs of an ancient catastrophe, it becomes clear that the first Nightfall is approaching. As the suns begin to vanish one by one, panic spreads and society scrambles to understand the event. Scientific efforts clash with growing superstition as the population faces the possibility of the end of their world. Based on Isaac Asimov's classic story "Nightfall," which was voted "The Greatest Science-Fiction Story Of All Time."

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 17

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.
