The Last of the Mohicans
A white man raised by Mohicans and his Native allies must protect a British major and two frontier women from a deadly ambush in the wilderness, where loyalty is tested and survival depends on uniting against a common enemy.
“An epic adventure and passionate romance unfold against the panorama of a frontier wilderness ravaged by war.”
Synopsis
During the colonial period in America, a battle involving British forces, French troops and Native American allies results in the capture of an aristocratic daughter of a British colonel and her party by Huron warriors; they are subsequently rescued by three Mohican trappers.

A crew of 609+ credited
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.

⚖️ Fell short of break-even — grossed 1.9× 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).
Worldwide gross
$75.5M
Opening weekend: $11.0M — 15% of its US run. It had legs — it kept earning long after opening weekend.
Opening week (7-day): $14.7M — 19% of its US & Canada run.
