During the US Civil War, railway engineer Johnnie Gray (Buster Keaton) must retrieve his locomotive, AKA The General, from behind enemy lines and save his sweetheart. Regularly name-dropped as one of the most influential films of all time for its acrobatic train stunts, perfect comic timing, flawless narrative arc and deadpan humour, The General was an epic of its time, shot with hundreds of extras and elaborate sets.
“The greatest comedy ever made, the greatest Civil War film ever made, and perhaps the greatest film ever made.” – Orson Welles
