Dead for a Dollar
“Vengeance for the right price.”
Synopsis
In 1897, veteran bounty hunter Max Borlund ventures deep into Mexico, where he encounters professional gambler and outlaw Joe Cribbens — a sworn enemy he had sent to prison years earlier. Max is on a mission to find and return Rachel Kidd, the wife of a wealthy businessman, who, according to the story told to him, has been abducted by Buffalo Soldier Elijah Jones. Max is ultimately faced with a showdown to save his honor.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 22
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.
