Synopsis

Frustrated by the futility of combat, disturbed by the corruption of their South Vietnamese allies, and repeatedly placed in danger by the ineptitude of their own company commander, the young soldiers discover a potential escape from the war. They learn that if they intentionally lose a soccer match against a South Vietnamese team, they will be allowed to spend the remainder of their tour playing exhibition games behind the lines.

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.
