Generally regarded as one of the best comedies of all time. Buster Keaton is a Confederate train driver pursuing his train and his girl, both stolen by Union soldiers. The sight gags pile up hilariously, while the action is dramatic, witty, visually stunning and full of subtly delightful human insights. Four writers and two directors combined to produce 85 silent minutes of the most inspired action comedy ever seen.
