The Gold Rush

1h 22m Comedy, Silent 1925

"Chaplin is the apotheosis of the world's despised and downtrodden, and also their hope; he heralds a revolution in anarchic beauty." -The New Yorker

“Chaplin is the apotheosis of the world’s despised and downtrodden, and also their hope; he heralds a revolution in anarchic beauty.” - The New Yorker

Charlie Chaplin’s comedic masterwork—which charts a prospector’s search for fortune in the Klondike and his discovery of romance (with the beautiful Georgia Hale)—forever cemented the iconic status of Chaplin and his Little Tramp character.

Shot partly on location in the Sierra Nevadas and featuring such timeless gags as the dance of the dinner rolls and the meal of boiled shoe leather, The Gold Rush is an indelible work of heartwarming hilarity. This special edition features a new restoration of the original 1925 silent film.
