The Golem (1920)

This is the first film adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's classic novel, which explores a mysterious land where prehistoric creatures continue to roam. As an important silent film with groundbreaking special effects, it significantly contributed to the genre’s development.

When a tornado rips through Kansas, Dorothy and her dog, Toto, are whisked away in their house to the magical land of Oz. They follow the Yellow Brick Road toward the Emerald City to meet the Wizard, and en route, Snowball, a black farmhand, soon joins them after a lightning bolt chases him into the sky. They land in Oz, where the farmhands try to avoid capture. Semon becomes a scarecrow, Hardy briefly disguises himself as a tin woodman, and Snowball is given a lion suit by the Wizard, which he uses to scare the Pumperdink guards.
