 While having lunch at the Plaza Hotel in New York, advertising executive Roger O. Thornhill (Cary Grant) has the bad luck to call for a messenger just as a page goes out for a "George Kaplan." From that moment, Thornhill finds that he has stepped into a nightmare -- he is quietly abducted by a pair of armed men and then interrogated by a mysterious man (James Mason) who, believing that Roger is George Kaplan, demands to know what he knows about his business. Roger, who knows nothing about who any of these people are, can do nothing but deny that he is Kaplan. Through various twists and turns, Roger eventually finds himself on the run from a murder he did not commit. He tries to escape via train where he meets the cooly beautiful Eve Kendall (Eva Marie Saint), who twice hides him from the police. Following a clue to a remote rural highway, Roger is attacked by an armed crop-dusting plane in one of the most famous scenes in Hitchcock's entire film output. He barely survives, but does manage to learn that his mysterious tormentor/interrogator is named Phillip Vandamm, and that he goes under the cover of being an art dealer and importer/exporter, and that Eve is in bed with him in every sense of the phrase -- or is she?

Directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Starring Cary Grant and Eva Marie Saint. Suspense-Mystery/PG/1959/136 minutes.
