The Invasion
Psychiatrist Carol Bennell races against a rapidly spreading alien virus that turns sleepers into emotionless drones, desperate to locate her missing son—the key to halting the epidemic—before humanity is lost.
“Do not trust anyone. Do not show emotion. Do not fall asleep.”
Synopsis
Carol Bennell, a psychologist based in Washington, D.C., and her colleague Dr. Ben Driscoll are the only individuals on Earth aware of an epidemic sweeping through the city. They uncover an alien virus aboard a crashed space shuttle, which transforms anyone exposed to it into emotionless drones during sleep. Bennell comes to understand that her son holds the key to halting the plague's spread, and she urgently sets out to locate him before it is too late.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 38
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.

📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.5× 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).
