Synopsis

Pete Grey was raised in a poor Pennsylvania mining town by his immigrant parents. As a young boy, he lost his right arm but, with the encouragement of his father and the ongoing support of his older brother, he refused to abandon his dream of playing professional baseball. Fueled by determination and anger, he eventually reaches the major leagues. It is only after meeting a handicapped child who looks up to him that Pete begins to embody the qualities of a true American hero.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 19

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.
