Soylent Green
A weary detective races to expose the deadly secret behind a government‑sanctioned food supply while battling a collapsing, overpopulated world that will kill anyone who threatens its fragile survival.
“It's the year 2022. People are still the same. They'll do anything to get what they need. And they need Soylent Green.”
Synopsis
In 2022, overcrowding, pollution, and resource depletion have forced society's leaders to focus on finding food for the growing population. The solution is Soylent Green.

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.
