Set during the Klondike Gold Rush, this silent classic follows the Little Tramp as he ventures into the frozen wilderness in search of fortune, only to find hunger, hardship and unexpected romance. Blending physical comedy with emotional warmth, the film features some of Chaplin’s most iconic moments, including the famous “dance of the rolls” and the shoe-eating scene. The Gold Rush remains one of the most beloved achievements of silent cinema and a defining work of Charlie Chaplin’s career.
