The General

100th Anniversary Screening

In Honor of National Train Day!

During America’s Civil War, Union spies steal engineer Johnny Gray’s beloved locomotive, ‘The General’—with his lady love aboard an attached boxcar—and he must single-handedly do all in his power to get both The General back and rescue Annabelle.

Orson Welles called Buster Keaton “The greatest of all the clowns in the history of cinema.” In Keaton’s laundry list of credits, he performed what is inarguably the greatest feats of stunt work to ever grace the silver screen. This greatness is ever-present in The General, directed by himself and collaborator Clyde Bruckman. It won no awards, it made no money, and it cost Keaton his creative independence, but its legacy is absolute in the “history of cinema,” as Welles’ once put it.
