Synopsis

George and Lenny travel through the Depression-era West, taking odd jobs to earn money for their dream of owning a farm. George constantly looks after his intellectually disabled friend, ensuring he stays out of trouble, both for his own sake and to avoid causing harm to others. When they find work at a ranch, Lenny's actions lead to serious consequences that George can no longer manage, forcing George to make a difficult choice: protect Lenny or let him face the repercussions of his actions.

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.
