Jim Natter, the leader of a violent Ku Klux Klan lodge, is shot dead. His teenage son, Eric Natter, is found nearby and taken into police custody for his protection pending the investigation. While four officers drive him to a safe house, they are ambushed. Three of them are shot dead, including Deputy Lawrence, and his Black partner, Jerry Robinson, is accused of the murders.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 18

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.
