The Legend of Zorro
A disgraced Zorro, stripped of his mask and his marriage, must uncover a dangerous conspiracy threatening California’s future while reconciling his dual identity before his secret—and the truth—destroys everything he loves.
“Adventure begins with a Z.”
Synopsis
Though he attempts to curb his adventurous nature, a danger to California's impending statehood prompts the action-oriented Don Alejandro de la Vega and his wife, Elena, to step in.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
A crew of 689+ 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).
