Richard III
“Conscience is a word that cowards use.”
Synopsis
After assisting his brother King Edward IV in securing the English throne, the hunchbacked and ambitious Richard, Duke of Gloucester, begins scheming to claim power for himself. Through manipulation and deceit, he turns against members of the royal court, including his wife, Lady Anne, and his brother George, Duke of Clarence. Richard's ruthless ascent to power eventually leads to a crisis as those he betrayed threaten his newfound position.

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.
