The Mask of Zorro
A masked hero fights Spanish tyranny in 1820s California, only to have his family shattered by a vengeful governor who kidnaps his infant daughter and imprisons him, forcing the hero to risk everything to rescue her and restore justice.
“No one has seen his face... but everyone ... knows this mark.”
Synopsis
It has been twenty years since Don Diego de la Vega fought Spanish oppression in Alta California as the legendary romantic hero, Zorro. After escaping from prison, he transforms the troubled bandit Alejandro into his successor in order to thwart the plans of the tyrannical Don Rafael Montero, who deprived him of his freedom, his wife, and his precious daughter.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 32
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.

✅ Made its money back — grossed 2.6× 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).
