Modern Times is a film that follows Charlie Chaplin's memorable character The Tramp employed at a state-of-the-art factory where the inescapable machinery completely overwhelms him, and where various mishaps keep getting him sent to prison. Very soon when an orphan girl (Paulette Goddard) gets introduced into the film, things become even crazier as they progress.
