Storyline
Did you know
- Trivia[Foreword] The Construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway, planned to span Canada from East to West, proved an engineering feat of the first magnitude. After years of anxiety and toil it progressed 2,000 miles on its way, and came within sight of the barrier - the towering peaks of the Rocky Mountains.
Featured review
So what is the true length of this film?
Clearly Silent Barriers is 1 movie and The Great Barrier is another movie. And my great uncle had a bit part in laying the railroad tracks down in the movie. The version I have is off a videotape a round 83 minutes but it's not the longer version his daughter (thus a relative) says it should be. So is there a third version?? The one I have clearly is from a videotape with the overscan on the bottom of the picture. The one I have is confusion so I'm not entirely convinced it's the Great Barrier movie. IMDB really needs to separate these movies. Like they do with the two different versions of the (not great but okay) Prequel versions for the Exorcist. ..
