Synopsis

Reggie Reynolds is a high school student who excels academically but struggles on the basketball court. One day, he encounters a junk dealer who gives him a pair of old gym shoes that were once worn by a star player in the Negro Basketball Leagues of the 1930s. As soon as Reggie puts on the red sneakers, his basketball skills dramatically improve, and he begins playing like a superstar. His newfound talent draws the attention of a major shoe company executive, who offers Reggie a deal to switch from the old red sneakers to the company's brand. However, Reggie is aware that without the magical red sneakers, his performance will decline, and he will once again be on the sideline.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 19

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.
