Synopsis

When a group of time travelers from the year 2051 arrive with an urgent warning, the world is thrown into shock: in thirty years, humanity is engaged in a losing global war against a deadly alien species. The only hope for survival is to transport soldiers and civilians from the present to the future to join the battle. Among those recruited is Dan Forester, a high school teacher and family man. Motivated by a desire to save the world for his young daughter, Dan joins forces with a brilliant scientist and his estranged father in a desperate attempt to change the planet's fate.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

A crew of 92+ credited

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.

Box Office

2021 · Box office

📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.1× its budget

Why 2.5×?

Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
