Bite the Bullet
Synopsis
At the beginning of the 20th century, a newspaper organizes an endurance horse race covering 700 miles to be completed in a few days. Nine adventurers compete, including a woman named Miss Jones, a Mexican, an Englishman, a young cowboy, an older cowboy, and two friends, Sam Clayton and Luke Matthews. Throughout the race, these individualists come to learn respect for one another.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 17
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.
