A boy (Harold Lloyd) moves to New York City to make enough money to support his loving girlfriend (Mildred Davis), but soon discovers that making it in the big city is harder than it looks.

"This new Harold Lloyd farce will became a classic of its kind...For it is the bespectacled comedian's best effort to date." --Photoplay (1923)

And indeed it did. Safety Last! was Harold Lloyd’s fourth and most complex “thrill” comedy. He came upon the idea for the film after witnessing a so-called “human fly” climb up the side of a tall building—a typical spectacle in the stunt-crazed America of the 1920s. Safety Last!—and the genius of Harold Lloyd—continues to dangle over all who attempt to fuse comedy and thrills in the movies.
