Synopsis

Ralph and Scott are two rebellious youths who grapple with adulthood while the Vietnam War is ongoing. Trapped in their small town, Scott contends with his conservative veteran father, Cliff, and Ralph deals with his sexually aggressive mother, Ev. After tragic news arrives from overseas, the town—prompted by Ralph and Scott’s anti‑war activities—reexamines its stance toward the conflict.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 20

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.
