Synopsis

A former Union Army officer intends to sell his property to Anchor Ranch and relocate eastward with his fiancée, but he reconsiders after receiving a low offer from the ranch’s disabled owner and encountering the outfit’s bullying tactics. When one of his hands is murdered, he chooses to remain and fight, applying his wartime experience. Meanwhile, at Anchor Ranch, the owner's wife continues an affair with his brother, who also has a relationship with a Mexican woman in town.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 18

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.
