Description:
The screenplay is based on an episode of the Civil War between North and South described by former Northern Corporal William Pittenger in his 1863 book Courage and Suffering: The Story of a Great Railroad Adventure. The plot of "The General" is based on real historical facts. In the spring of 1862, a detachment of the Union Army, led by secret agent James Andrews, invaded Confederate territory and captured the Confederate locomotive "General". Union Army soldiers boarded the train disguised as ordinary passengers and abducted it during the stop. In Buster Keaton's comedy, the main character, Johnny Gray, is a railroad engineer. During the attack, his girlfriend accidentally ended up on a train and was taken to enemy territory. The hero is on the run. Keaton created a startlingly epic picture, with dozens of costume scenes, close-ups, and a spectacular fall of a real engine from a burning bridge into a river.
