Buster Keaton: Go West

Having little luck keeping his job in New York, a drifter known only as 'Friendless' (Buster Keaton) abandons city life to ride the rails, finding himself touching down at an Arizona ranch. Against all odds, he finds himself in charge of leading a herd of cattle to the West Coast – but when his one beloved companion, a sympathetic cow named Brown Eyes, seems to be headed to a slaughterhouse fate, Friendless is determined to intervene.

Home to an unforgettable chase sequence that stands amongst his best, along with a perfect blend of humour and pathos (not to mention a scene-stealing bovine leading lady), Go West is an underseen, irresistible gem in Buster Keaton's filmography: a wry take on western tropes that steals your heart and rides off into the sunset with it.
