Synopsis

From 1977 to 1981, The Police embarked on an extensive global tour that took them to more than a dozen countries, many of which were rarely visited by rock bands of the era. The film captures highlights from the tour, including performances in Japan, Hong Kong, India, Egypt, Australia, and Latin America. Sixteen songs were recorded live during the tour for the film, which goes beyond a standard concert video by incorporating humorous off-stage footage. These segments show the band experiencing local sights, customs, and cultures in the countries where their fans lived.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 8

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.
