Broken Arrow
“The most powerful weapon is courage...”
Synopsis
In the late 1870s in Arizona, Indian scout Tom Jeffords is assigned to mediate the conflict between American settlers and the Apache. He discovers that the Apache carry out attacks primarily in self-defense or as retaliation for violent acts committed by white settlers.

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.
