Synopsis

In 1951, a ceasefire was declared, but two remaining armies fought their final battle on the front line. Toward the end of the Korean War, a South Korean battalion was fiercely battling over a hill on the front line border against the North in order to capture a strategic point that would determine the new border between the two nations. Ownership of this small patch of land would swap multiple times each day. Kang is dispatched to the front line in order to investigate the tacit case that has been happening there.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 20

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.

⚖️ Fell short of break-even — grossed 1.6× its budget

Why 2.5×?

Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
