During America’s Civil War, Union spies steal engineer Johnny Gray's beloved locomotive, 'The General'—with Johnnie's lady love aboard an attached boxcar—and he single-handedly must do all in his power to both get The General back and to rescue Annabelle.
Editor's Verdict
❌NO
"Despite the 'Holiday Release' note, the film's setting, plot, themes, and iconography are entirely centered around the American Civil War, espionage, and romantic rescue. There is no indication that the events occur during the Christmas season or that Christmas plays any role in the narrative structure."
