The Place of the Dead
Synopsis
Set in a remote, deep gully in the heart of the Borneo jungle—one of the last unexplored places on Earth—this adventure drama follows a group of men as they descend into the treacherous terrain known locally as "The Place of the Dead." Based on a true story that garnered international attention, the film portrays the extreme physical and psychological challenges faced by the explorers as they encounter forces beyond their understanding.

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.
