Description

Regarded as one of the finest silent film comedies, Charlie Chaplin’s The Gold Rush celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2025. A lone prospector (Charlie Chaplin) ventures to the Klondike with a pickaxe, a frying pan, and a dream during the 1890s gold rush. Hoping to strike it big but struggling with the perilous elements, Chaplin’s Little Tramp finds romance with a beautiful dancer (Georgia Hale). Featuring some of Chaplin's most famous gags such as the boiled shoe dinner and the cabin falling off a cliff’s edge, The Gold Rush cemented Chaplin’s skills as both a filmmaker and performer. The Gold Rush screens on a restored 35mm print.
