Synopsis

One of the last bills signed by President Lincoln authorizes the construction of the Union Pacific Railroad through the wilderness to California. However, financial opportunist Asa Barrows seeks to profit by obstructing the project. Chief troubleshooter Jeff Butler is challenged by Barrows' agent, gambler Sid Campeau; Campeau's partner, Dick Allen, is both Jeff's war buddy and rival in his pursuit of Molly Monahan, the engineer's daughter. As the effort to push the railroad through intensifies, the question remains: who will survive the struggle?

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 21

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.
