Synopsis

Russell Gates (David Strahairn) is a Vietnam War veteran sentenced to death for the murder of a police officer. His childhood sweetheart, Pam O'Brien (Sissy Spacek), is shocked by the news and refuses to believe he is capable of such a crime. She begins writing to him, much to the frustration of her husband, Keith, and becomes increasingly fixated on finding any possible way to save the condemned man. Her frequent visits to the prison strain her marriage and disrupt her family life.

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.
