Language: English
Running Time: 131 mins
Director(s): Alfred Hitchcock
Censor Certificate: U/A
Genre: Thriller, Suspense, Action
Plot: New York advertising executive Roger Thornhill is kidnapped by a gang of spies led by Philip Vandamm, who believe Thornhill is CIA agent George Kaplan. Thornhill escapes, but must find Kaplan in order to clear himself of a murder it is believed he committed. Following Kaplan to Chicago as a fugitive from justice, Thornhill is helped by beautiful Eve Kendall. In Chicago, she delivers a message to Kaplan that almost costs Thornhill his life when he is chased across a cornfield by a crop-dusting plane.
My Review:First 10minutes are enough to get you hooked to this supersuspense thriller by Alfred Hithcock.Imagine a guy is having his business meeting in a restaurant & suddenly two guys with gun kidnap him & take him to a house where a very sophisticated man asks him to give all the secrets he is holding.They are damn sure that he is the CIA agent.This is where the story starts with ample of twists.The only thing I didn't like about the movie is that the suspense gets revealed very soon(almost by halftime).Afterthat its a simple hero vs villain.Still its an absolute entertainer.
My Ratings:3.5/5,You can't miss this if you love suspense thrillers
