Storyline:Kirk decided to save the doomed Earth by time-traveling back to the late 20th century (using a sling-shot technique around the Sun), to a time when whales did exist, to locate and bring back the mammals to "give a proper response" to the probe and save Earth; they emerged in the year 1986 in San Francisco (landing in cloaked mode in Golden Gate Park), although one problem had occurred - the ship""s dilithium crystals were decrystallizing, draining the ship""s power for cloaking and for returning home.The Civil War adventure-epic classic was made toward the end of the silent era.Posters describing the slapstick film heralded: "Love, Locomotives and Laughs." However, Keaton""s greatest picture (arguably) received both poor reviews by critics (it was considered tedious and disappointing) and weak box-office results (about a half million dollars domestically, and approximately one million worldwide) when initially released in the late 20s, and it led to Keaton""s loss of independence as a film-maker and a restrictive deal with MGM.The film was remade in 1957 with David Niven as the "forgotten man" and June Allyson (in her next-to-last film) as the Lombard character.Only Sessue Hayakawa, a former silent screen star and one of the first important Asian stars, who was nominated for his Best Supporting Actor role as the hot-tempered Japanese colonel, lost.
