Synopsis

Set in 90 AD, the film follows John of Patmos, the last surviving disciple of Jesus Christ, and his experiences and visions related to the Apocalypse of John. Emperor Domitian has proclaimed himself as God and ruler of both heaven and earth, a claim that the Christians refuse to acknowledge, resulting in their persecution under the so-called God Emperor. John is imprisoned on the island of Patmos, a Roman mining penal colony, along with many other prisoners. While there, he records his visions and sends the "Revelation of God" to the seven churches of Greek Asia Minor. The Christian church in Ephesus sends Irene to confirm John is still alive and to meet with him in person. The film portrays scenes from the Book of Revelation and connects them to events occurring within the church in Asia.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 23

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.
