It turns 100 and remains one of the greatest films of all time: now it's returning to theaters in 4K.

One hundred years after its release, one of the greatest classics of silent film returns to the big screen in a restored version. The adventure comedy, considered one of the best in history, will be available in Spanish theaters starting June 26 in 4K resolution, a must-see for cinephiles and those curious about the seventh art.

The global re-release commemorates the centenary of a work that forever transformed the language of cinema . The new screening, promoted by A Contracorriente Films, has been carefully restored to offer viewers a renewed experience, respecting the original nuances and adapting it to today's visual standards.

Directed, written, and starring Charles Chaplin and released in 1925, The Gold Rush takes place during the Klondike Gold Rush (Canada) and combines physical comedy, social commentary, and endearing characters. Chaplin plays a lonely gold seeker who arrives in Alaska at the turn of the century in search of his fortune, but a violent snowstorm forces him to take refuge in a bandit's cabin.

Sequences like the boiled shoe and the iconic dance of the bread rolls continue to dazzle new generations and demonstrate the narrative power of wordless cinema. In addition, several Spanish cinemas will hold special discussions about the work, featuring prominent figures in the audiovisual world such as Fernando Méndez-Leite, Almudena Amor, and Rodrigo Sorogoyen .

The influence of The Gold Rush lives on, as confirmed by multiple restorations and selections at international festivals. Its new 4K restoration represents an exceptional opportunity for both those looking to relive a silent film gem and those experiencing Chaplin's work for the first time. Furthermore, thanks to its screening in select theaters, the experience goes beyond home viewing (it's available on Movistar Plus+ and Acontra Plus), allowing it to be enjoyed as it was intended: on the big screen and in a community .
