Synopsis

This dramatized portrayal of Abraham Lincoln's early legal career in Illinois depicts his birth in a modest log cabin and his encouragement from his first love, Ann Rutledge, to pursue a career in law. After Rutledge's tragic death, Lincoln establishes a law practice in Springfield, where he meets Mary Todd. His legal abilities are tested when he takes on the challenging case of defending two brothers accused of murder.

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.
