His diabolical plan seems unstoppable: He has instructed his personal satellite to randomly destroy countries by programming the world's video games and televisions for instant destruction on his command. Special agents form around the world gather to find the 'overseer's' master computer terminal and to put an end to his wicked plan. U.S. agent Scattergood finds himself working very closely with his beautiful Russian rival Natasha. The two superagents meet at Rightmonger's futuristic palace in Bastavia where an international video game championship is underway.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 17

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.
