Description
Widely regarded as one of the greatest silent films ever made, The General stars Buster Keaton as Johnnie Gray, a Southern railroad engineer whose beloved locomotive—and fiancée—are stolen by Union spies during the Civil War. Determined to win them both back, Johnnie embarks on an epic chase across enemy lines, blending spectacular action, inventive comedy, and some of the most daring stunts in cinema history.
Inspired by a true Civil War incident, The General was initially underappreciated on release but is now hailed as Keaton’s masterpiece, renowned for its breathtaking train sequences, meticulous historical detail, and seamless fusion of romance and adventure.
