Synopsis

Luke Doolin is an unrepentant Tennessee moonshine runner who makes dangerous high‑speed deliveries for his father Vernon, a liquor producer. He refuses to allow his younger brother Robin to join the family business. Pressured by out‑of‑town gangster Kogan, who seeks a share of the local operation, and Treasury agent Barrett, who aims to dismantle the moonshine enterprise, Luke struggles to preserve his rapidly declining way of life.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 17

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.
