Synopsis

Ashraf Marwan was the son-in-law of Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser and served as a special adviser and confidant to his successor, Anwar Sadat. At the same time, he was considered one of the most valuable assets of Israeli Intelligence in the 20th century. His dual roles placed him at the center of significant political and intelligence operations. This story is the basis of the *New York Times* bestselling book *The Angel: The Egyptian Spy Who Saved Israel* by Uri Bar-Joseph.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 24

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.
