SYNOPSIS

Widely recognised as one of the very greatest comedies ever made, Keaton’s Civil War classic is not only wonderfully funny; it also succeeds as a suspenseful action adventure, a touching love story and a meticulously mounted historical drama. The title refers not to Keaton’s character, but to his engine, ‘The General,’ which figures prominently in one of the most harrowing and hilarious chase scenes ever filmed.
