Synopsis

Sergeant Todd is a veteran soldier serving in an elite unit of the armed forces. After being defeated by a new type of genetically engineered soldiers, he is abandoned on a wasteland planet and left for dead. He soon encounters a group of crash survivors who have established a peaceful community. That peace is disrupted when the genetically engineered soldiers return to the planet to destroy the colony, forcing Sergeant Todd to take up its defense.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

A crew of 48+ credited

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.

Box Office

📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.2× its budget

Why 2.5×?

Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
