Description:
People wait on the platform of a train station in La Ciotat. A train approaches and stops. Passengers disembark and embark. Legend claims that audiences at the film’s first showing fled in terror, believing they would be run over by the "approaching" train. This story is likely an exaggeration, though it’s clear people were amazed by the Lumières' new invention.
