Synopsis

*The Wall*, released in 1982, is a British film directed by Alan Parker and produced by Roger Waters, who also co-wrote the screenplay. Based on Waters' 1979 concept album of the same name, the film combines live-action sequences with animated segments and a rock opera format. It stars Bob Geldof as the Pink Floyd frontman's alter ego, Pink, a rock star who becomes increasingly isolated and paranoid. The film explores themes of war, trauma, authoritarianism, and personal alienation, reflecting Waters' critical views on society and the music industry. *The Wall* received mixed reviews upon release but has since gained a cult following and is recognized for its ambitious visual style and integration of music and narrative. It was nominated for several awards, including an Academy Award for Best Cinematography.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 15

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.
