Celebrate the centenary of Charlie Chaplin’s comedic masterwork about a prospector’s search for fortune in the Klondike, in a new 4K restored version. Cementing the iconic status of Chaplin and his Little Tramp character, The Gold Rush was shot partly on location in the Sierra Nevada, with such timeless gags as the dance of the dinner rolls and the meal of boiled shoe leather. Featuring epic scenes with hundreds of extras and a real bear filmed in the Californian mountains, The Gold Rush showcases Chaplin’s grand vision for spectacle.
