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.
We’ll also screen the 1965 short, The Railrodder. Made toward the end of his life, this film captures Buster Keaton’s enduring physical wit as he travels across Canada via motorized rail cart, serving as a charming and fitting farewell to his unique brand of comedy.
