Synopsis

Paul Lavond, a respected Parisian banker, is framed for robbery and murder by corrupt associates and subsequently imprisoned. After years in captivity, he escapes alongside a friend—a scientist who had been developing a technique to shrink humans to just a few inches tall, intended for the benefit of humanity. However, Lavond is driven by a deep hatred toward those who betrayed him, and he uses the scientist's method to return to Paris and carry out a vengeful campaign.

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.
