Synopsis

The commonly known account of Abraham Lincoln's death details how and where he was killed, and who was responsible. However, the events of his final day remain less widely understood. On April 14, 1865, the paths of Lincoln and his assassin, John Wilkes Booth, unfolded separately before converging at the Presidential Box at Ford's Theatre. This day, which would shock the world, can be retraced hour by hour to reveal the full sequence of events. The objects associated with the crime, such as Lincoln's hat and Booth's gun, also serve as silent witnesses to the moment that altered the course of American history.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 15

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.
