Synopsis

As a massive electrical storm approaches Texas, lineman Beau Ginner is troubled by memories of his brother's death from lightning years before. Since that tragedy, he has raised his niece, Bailey, and advanced to foreman of a lineman team. Tensions arise when Bailey's on-again, off-again boyfriend, Duncan, joins the crew, and another new recruit begins to show signs of PTSD. Beau and his team soon face life-threatening conditions as they race to replace miles of power lines, striving to keep the electrical grid operational before the deadly storm hits. Based on a true story, the film honors the workers who risk their lives to ensure public safety.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 21

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.
