North by Northwest

Why see North by Northwest?

Crop Dusters Ahoy!

Adapted from Alfred Hitchcock's classic film, this comic caper is just the right mix of thrilling action set pieces, snappy one-liners, and sparky romance. The story follows an advertising executive (portrayed by Cary Grant in the movie) who becomes embroiled in a murder plot that sees him chased across the country by thugs, Feds, and spies.

What is North By Northwest About?

After being mistaken for someone named 'George Kaplan', suave advertising executive Roger Thornhill is whisked away to a Long Island estate by a couple of kidnappers. Following an interrogation and a failed staged car accident, he flees, and so begins his cross-country escapade. Can Roger figure out what on earth is going on as he tries to stay one step ahead of lots of people who seem intent on killing him?
