Synopsis

This version of the Tarzan story is told from Jane's perspective. Jane Parker travels to Africa to visit her father, joining him on an expedition. Through a few initial encounters, a bond—of a sexual nature—develops between Jane and Tarzan. When the expedition is taken captive by local tribespeople, Tarzan arrives to rescue them.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 17

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.
