Synopsis

Seventy years after the events, brothers Colin and Ewan McGregor guide viewers through the key moments of the Battle of Britain, when the RAF's "few" faced the might of the Nazi Luftwaffe. As they fly historic aircraft, meet veterans, and explore the tactics and technology, Colin and Ewan uncover the significance of the battle and the enduring legacy of the 1940 campaign for the modern RAF.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 12

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.
