Synopsis

A seagull agent who infiltrated Japan from Pyongyang plans to smuggle a large amount of drugs into South Korea. The Korean Anti-Aircraft Investigation Office, which has decrypted the radio, disguises an investigator as a foreign sailor and infiltrates Fukuoka. The undercover investigator meets the drug and detective head of the Japanese Metropolitan Police Agency, disguised as a detective named Kurogami. Keiko's father, Katsuo, who has finished serving his sentence as a smuggler, fights over the drug hidden between the Seagull and the investigator. In the place where everyone gathers around drugs, Japanese prisoners led by Chief Kurogami raid and arrest all of them, and the conspiracy on the Pyongyang side is destroyed.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 10

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.
