Synopsis

In Newnan, reports of unidentified flying objects lead to a military presence tasked with monitoring the phenomenon. Sheriff Hall, portrayed by Bud Spencer, manages the resulting hysteria. While returning from patrol, he encounters a boy who claims to be an alien named H7‑25. Initially skeptical, Hall becomes convinced as evidence accumulates. The military subsequently pursues both Hall and H7‑25, prompting the sheriff to protect the boy and confront soldiers in order to enable H7‑25’s return home.

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.
