Synopsis

Nan Moore is a U.S. government employee whose son is killed when Korean Air Flight 007 is shot down by the Soviet Union on September 1, 1983. The official explanation states that the flight strayed unintentionally into Soviet airspace, was mistaken for a spy plane, and was shot down after failing to identify itself. Ms. Moore, however, harbors doubts about this account. As she attempts to uncover the truth behind her son's death, she encounters repeated resistance and obstruction. Faced with a conspiracy of silence and growing hostility from authorities, Moore continues her investigation, only to find that each answer she uncovers leads to further questions.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 20

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.
