Synopsis

Tony and Tia are twin siblings with extraordinary telekinetic abilities. When their uncle, Bene, brings them to Los Angeles for a vacation on Earth, their display of supernatural powers draws the attention of the sinister Dr. Gannon and his criminal associate, Letha, who recognize the potential for profit in exploiting the children's talents. Gannon and Letha kidnap Tony, prompting Tia to pursue him, only to discover that Gannon is using Tony's powers to turn against her.

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.
