Who's Out There?

Runtime
28 min
Documentary

Synopsis

Orson Welles, with contributions from scientists George Wald, Carl Sagan, and others, explores the possibility and implications of extraterrestrial life. By examining our perceptions of alien "martians" from his "War of the Worlds" broadcast to then-modern explorations of Mars, this film from NASA offers a unique glimpse at life on Earth and elsewhere in the universe.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 10

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.
