Synopsis

In the American West, a miner works tirelessly at his rocker box while his young daughter tends to their camp. She convinces him to return to civilization so they can enjoy the rewards of their labor, and both look forward to a promising future. While she is away, a wandering prospector arrives at the camp and, upon seeing the old man weighing his gold, is overcome with greed. The wanderer, having failed in his own efforts to strike it rich, demands a share of the miner's earnings. The miner refuses, and the intruder resorts to violence to take the gold. The wanderer later collapses in the desert and is found and rescued by the miner's daughter.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 10

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.
