Synopsis

Mixing wild hilarity with amazing stunts, The General stars silent comedy legend Buster Keaton as Johnny Gray. In the American civil war, a mix-up leads Johnny's sweetheart Annabelle to decide that he's a coward. But when the enemy steal his beloved train engine The General, and with it kidnap Annabelle, Johnny is determined to get them both back. What follows is a brilliant comedy full of daredevil antics that will have you laughing and gasping at the same time.
