Synopsis

Take a journey back to prehistoric America when mighty dinosaurs ruled the continent. From New York to New Mexico, these powerful animals lived, hunted, and died in the very place you call home. Watch millions of years of violent evolution unfold before your eyes. You’ll meet the never-before-seen Zuniceratops, a uniquely North American creature that was the first of its kind to have horns over its eyes. You’ll also visit all your favorites, including the T-Rex, Triceratops, Stegosaurus, and the ferocious Raptor, with a startling new appearance that will surprise you. You won’t see more authentic and terrifying dinosaurs anywhere... except buried in your own backyard.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 13

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.
