North by Northwest

North by Northwest

Directed by Alfred Hitchcock • 1959 • United States
Starring Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint, James Mason

Cary Grant stars as an innocent man mistaken for a spy in one of director Alfred Hitchcock’s greatest thrillers, featuring some of the Master of Suspense’s most indelible set pieces. While leaving New York’s Plaza Hotel, advertising executive Roger Thornhill (Grant) has the misfortune of standing just as the name “George Kaplan” is paged, resulting in a lethal case of mistaken identity and a nonstop game of cat and mouse as he is pursued across North America by espionage agents trying to kill him—and by police who suspect him of murder.
