Synopsis

After a cavalry unit is ambushed and destroyed by the Cheyenne, only two survivors remain: Honus, an inexperienced private committed to his duty, and Cresta, a young woman who had lived among the Cheyenne for two years and whose loyalties are more aligned with them than with the U.S. government. Together, they attempt to make their way to the cavalry's main base camp. As they journey forward, Honus struggles with the conflict between his growing feelings for Cresta and his sense of duty.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 20

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.
