ABOUT THE FILM
When union spies steal his locomotive along with his girlfriend, a plucky railway engineer pursues them doggedly across enemy lines. Consistently ranked among the greatest films ever made, Buster Keaton’s The General is so brilliantly conceived and executed that it continues to inspire awe and laughter with every viewing.
