Synopsis

A young boy is taken from his village and trained as a samurai warrior with the mission to return and defeat the shapeshifting villain Aku, who has caused widespread destruction. After mastering his skills, the warrior sets out for home but finds himself transported to a futuristic landscape. In this new world, the locals refer to the lone, tough warrior as "Jack" and help him in his quest to return to his time. This was the original feature-length presentation that launched the *Samurai Jack* phenomenon on the Cartoon Network.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 13

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.
