The Passion of Joan of Arc
A fearless teenage warrior fights to prove she hears God’s voice while a ruthless ecclesiastical tribunal subjects her to relentless psychological torment, risking martyrdom for the truth.
“An Immortal Screen Classic that will live Forever!”
Synopsis
This classic of the silent era tells the story of the doomed but ultimately canonized 15th-century teenage warrior. On trial for claiming she had spoken to God, Jeanne d'Arc is subjected to inhumane treatment and scare tactics at the hands of church court officials. Initially bullied into changing her story, Jeanne eventually opts for what she sees as the truth. Her punishment, a famously brutal execution, earns her perpetual martyrdom.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 28
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.
