Synopsis

Huey Walker, a hippie radical who has been a fugitive for decades and accused of a crime he may not have committed, is finally captured and brought to trial. He is escorted by FBI agent John Buckner, a disciplined and uptight 20-something. Although they appear to be complete opposites, Buckner and Walker gradually discover they share more in common than initially meets the eye. This connection becomes especially significant when the two confront a sinister small-town sheriff.

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.
