Synopsis

Based on true events and written by best-selling author Ken Follett, this spy thriller is set in North Africa during the summer of 1942. Master spy Alex Wolff is tasked with delivering secrets to General Erwin Rommel's advancing army, information that could lead to the capture of Cairo and a potential Nazi victory in the war. Pursuing Wolff is Major Vandarn, who enlists the seductive Elene Fontana to use her charm in luring him into a position for a confrontation that promises to be both startling and explosive.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 18

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.
