Synopsis

When their 43-foot schooner is destroyed by a pod of killer whales, the six members of the Robertson family find themselves stranded at sea for 37 days in the Pacific, without maps, compasses, or navigational instruments. As they drift, they employ every survival technique available to endure the harsh conditions, including 20-foot waves, attacks from sharks, extreme thirst, starvation, and exhaustion.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 21

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.
