Synopsis

Ben, a former Navy officer, now works on an offshore rig as its supervisor. As several crew members die during diving operations to stabilize the rig on the ocean floor, he needs to find workers willing to take on the dangerous task. He contacts an old Navy colleague who runs a diving training program at a prison and selects the most capable candidates to complete the job. However, with pressure from his superiors, the presence of a documentary film crew, and a tight deadline, Ben must balance finishing the project with ensuring the men's safety. Not everything goes according to plan.

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.
