Widely regarded as one of the greatest silent films ever made, Buster Keaton’s The General delivers breathtaking stunts, perfectly timed comedy, and pulse-pounding action—all set against the backdrop of the American Civil War. Keaton stars as a devoted train engineer whose beloved locomotive and sweetheart are both stolen by enemy forces, leading to one of cinema’s most thrilling and hilarious chase sequences.
