Synopsis

Capt. John Boyd and his regiment arrive at a remote Army outpost and assist a wounded frontiersman, who tells them a chilling story of a wagon train that was brutally murdered by its guide—a rogue U.S. Army colonel turned violent. Concerned by the account, the regiment ventures into the wilderness to investigate the horrifying allegations.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 34

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.

Box Office

1999 · Box office

📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.2× its budget

Why 2.5×?

Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
