The Great Train Robbery is a 1903 American
silent film made by
Edwin S. Porter for the
Edison Manufacturing Company. It follows a gang of outlaws who hold up and rob a steam locomotive at a station in the American West, flee across mountainous terrain, and are finally defeated by a posse of locals. The
short film draws on many sources, including a robust existing tradition of
Western films, recent European innovations in film technique, the play of the same name by
Scott Marble, the popularity of train-themed films, and possibly real-life incidents involving outlaws such as
Butch Cassidy.Film credit:
