Synopsis

Billy, a streetwise boy from New York City, is sent to live in Nebraska, where he is taken in by a Swedish farming family named the Andersons. At first, he is fearful and resentful, struggling to adjust and clashing with his new family, particularly his adoptive father, Frank Converse. It is only after a serious crisis that Billy comes to understand, for the first time in his life, that he truly belongs and has found a home.

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.
