In 1922, the country boy Harold says goodbye to his mother and his girlfriend Mildred in the train station and leaves Great Bend expecting to be successful in the big city. Harold promises to Mildred to get married with her as soon as he "make good". Harold shares a room with his friend "Limpy" Bill and he finally gets a job as salesman in the De Vore Department Store. However, he pawns Bill's phonograph, buys a lavaliere and writes to Mildred telling that he is a manager of De Vore. One day, Harold sees an old friend from Great Bend that is a policeman and when he meets his friend Bill, he asks Bill to push the policeman over him and make him fall down. However Bill pushes the wrong policeman that chases him, but he escapes climbing up a building. Out of the blue, Mildred is convinced by her mother to visit Harold without previous notice and he pretends to be the manager of De Vore. When Harold overhears the general manager telling that he would give one thousand dollars to to anyone that could promote De Vore attracting people to the department store, he offers five hundred dollars to Bill to climb up the Bolton Building. However things go wrong when the angry policeman decides to check whether the mystery man that will climb up the building is the one who pushed him over on the floor.

Movie Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times - 10/10 by Roger EbertThe Glasses character in Safety Last would have blended with the background of the department store where he worked if it had not been for action imposed upon him. But what action!
Q Network Film Desk - 10/10 by James KendrickThe climb has both comic and dramatic weight because it is both a thrilling exercise in physical humor and a thematically rich evocation of the pressures men feel to succeed, lest they be viewed as less than a man
Variety - 10/10 by Variety StaffThis Harold Lloyd high-class low comedy has thrills as well as guffaws.
Groucho Reviews - 10/10 by Peter CanaveseOn video, Safety Last! is a certified treat, but in packed movie houses, with audiences invariably gasping and giggling on every cue, it's a near-religious experience. [Criterion Blu-ray]
Suite101.com - 9/10 by Nick RogersRefutes the idea that success and selfishness must be bedfellows, or that to be economically unburdened is to be emotionally uncaring. The idea to continually aspire and ascend propels both the brilliance of "Safety Last!" & Lloyd's enduring appeal.
Tiny Mix Tapes - 9/10 by Derek SmithThe climb itself is a masterful feat of physical acting and comic timing, surpassed only by the best works of Chaplin and Keaton.
Old School Reviews - 9/10 by John A. NesbitCombining the heart of Chaplin and the physical dexterity and daring of Keaton
Oregonian - 9/10 by Jamie S. RichAs a personality, Lloyd is a combination of silly and sweet, but his true star power comes from his daring athleticism.
ColeSmithey.com - 8/10 by Cole SmitheyOf the great silent film comedians, Harold Lloyd stood apart from Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton by virtue of his everyman approach to physical comedy. He had to work at it and he let his difficulty show, but not entirely.
Empire Magazine - 8/10 by David ParkinsonHarold Lloyd manages to make the characters sympathetic enough to carry the audience's concern on his journey of crazy stunts and mishaps. One of the best of this era.
