Synopsis

In the year 645, during the ancient Korean Kingdom of Goguryeo, the aggressive Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty launches an invasion, leading his forces toward the capital and securing a series of victories. Along his campaign lies the fortress of Ansi, defended by General Yang Man-chu, who is determined to halt the invasion despite being vastly outnumbered by the enemy.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 16

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.

Made its money back — grossed 3.1× 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).
