Buster Keaton’s unstoppable silent movie action comedy with a LIVE SCORE performed by musicians from Yorkshire Silent Film Festival!
Tennessee railroad engineer Johnny Gray (Buster Keaton) loves his locomotive, The General. When it’s stolen by Yankees, he sets out to get it back and epic, action-packed chase ensues. Based on a true story, The General is Buster Keaton’s comedy masterpiece, packed full of beautiful visual comedy, daring stunts, and nail-biting dramatic tension.
“The pioneering genius of Buster Keaton’s 1926 silent film The General looks even more startling than ever.” - PETER BRADSHAW, THE GUARDIAN (2014)
