Wagons East!
“They came. They saw. They changed their minds.”
Synopsis
In the aftermath of the 1860s Wild West era, a group of mismatched settlers—comprising former doctor Phil Taylor, prostitute Belle, and homosexual bookseller Julian—determine they can no longer endure life in the western territories. They enlist the services of James Harlow, a grizzled and alcoholic wagon master, to guide them on a journey back to their original homes in the East.

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.
