Synopsis

A group of men parachute into Japanese-occupied Burma to carry out a dangerous and important mission: to locate and destroy a radar station. They successfully complete the task, but when they attempt to rendezvous at an old air strip for extraction, they find the Japanese waiting for them. Forced to abandon their plan, the men begin a long and arduous journey back through enemy-occupied jungle.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 18

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.
