Synopsis

During the Civil War, a colt is born to Union soldier Jim Rabb's beloved mare in the middle of battle. Rabb, moved by the colt's innocence, defies orders to shoot it, choosing instead to keep the animal as a source of comfort in difficult times. The colt becomes a symbol of hope, guiding the men of the First Cavalry through a journey of self-discovery and the forging of a new sense of brotherhood.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 18

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.
