The Horse Soldiers
A Union cavalry unit, led by a doctor who clashes with the commander, embarks on a dangerous behind-enemy-lines mission to destroy a vital Confederate rail hub, with their journey complicated by a Southern belle whose knowledge of their secret plan forces them to take her along.
“...rides where only the great ones do!”
Synopsis

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.
