For a gold prospector who wants to make his fortune on the Klondyke, Tramp Charlie seems to be the worst possible choice. When he flees from a snowstorm and ends up in the hut of the notorious Big Jim, of all places, things get dicey … In his masterpiece “Gold Rush”, Charlie Chaplin (as screenwriter, director, composer and leading actor) developed comedy from the spirit of tragedy. You can’t get enough of the touching and hilarious scenes in this silent film classic: Tramp Charlie’s fight with the bear, the gold seekers’ hut being pushed along by the snowstorm or the famous bun dance. Hunger, cold, loneliness - nothing can shake the Tramp on his search for the great treasure!
