Synopsis

Sir Daniel Brackley, a scheming politician, exploits the unrest within the royal court for his own gain, inadvertently setting the stage for the return of the medieval hero Black Arrow. Armed with a steel crossbow and a resolute heart, Black Arrow confronts the kingdom's villains. His mission includes delivering justice to the assassin who killed his friend Harry Shelton and left Harry's son, young Richard Shelton, an orphan. Richard and Black Arrow, united by turmoil and tragedy, embark on an adventure that will change their lives.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 12

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.
