Sorcerer
Four desperate strangers must haul volatile, leaking dynamite across a treacherous South American jungle, racing against exploding danger and their own haunted pasts.
“Four men...outlaws thrown together by fate...share a fantastic adventure and risk the only thing they have left to lose.”
Synopsis
Four men from different parts of the world, each seeking refuge from their troubled pasts in a secluded South American town, decide to take a perilous journey together. They agree to transport several cases of dynamite through treacherous jungle terrain, despite the dynamite's age and the dangerously unstable nitroglycerin it is leaking.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 37
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.

📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.4× 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).
