Charlie Chaplin's Little Tramp gets trapped in the coils of automation in this corrosive satire on the dehumanizing effects of technology. This film is also one of Chaplin’s most lighthearted works, with highlights including his helpful waving of a red flag dropped by a departing truck just as a Communist demonstration marches up behind him.
