Synopsis

A group of Mexicans discovers that their claims to land in the United States have been denied, and all related records are destroyed in a courthouse fire. Their leader, Louis Chama, urges them to take forceful action to reclaim their land. A wealthy landowner, who also seeks the same territory, decides to hire a group of killers, including Joe Kidd, to track down Chama.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 16

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.
