In Go West, silent comedy legend Buster Keaton plays a drifter named Friendless, who lands a job at a cattle ranch hoping to make his fortune. Once there, he becomes inseparable from a darling cow named Brown Eyes, who follows him wherever he goes with a series of comic mishaps close behind. When the ranch owner decides to sell his entire herd—including Brown Eyes—to the stockyard, the drifter springs into action to save his only friend. (82 mins., 4K DCP)
