Special Report: Journey to Mars
Synopsis
As the world's first spaceship nears its destination, Mars, the TV network GNN initiates live coverage of the mission's final two hours. Soon after, complications arise: the landing computer malfunctions, Captain Eugene T. Slader falls seriously ill, and on Earth, it is revealed that major financial corporations have a vested interest in the mission's failure. Throughout these events, viewers watch the unfolding drama in real time on television.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 18
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.
