Synopsis

In April 1953, during the Korean War, Lieutenant Clemons, who leads the King Company of the United States Infantry, receives orders to retake Pork Chop Hill, which is held by a sizable Chinese Army force. At the same time, approximately seventy miles away in the village of Panmunjom, a tense cease‑fire conference is taking place.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 19

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.
