The General (1926) poster

The General

dir. Clyde Bruckman, Buster Keaton · 1926

True courage is found in the commitment to what we love, even in the face of adversity.

"The General" is a masterful blend of adventure and comedy, where a locomotive and a love story collide amidst the absurdities of war. Clyde Bruckman's film stands out with its breathtaking stunts and relentless pacing, making it a timeless classic that showcases the triumph of the underdog.

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