North by North West

North By NorthWest is a 1959 American thriller spy film directed by Alfred Hitchcock, starring Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint and James Mason. 

The plot and storyline of North by Northwest is that a innocent wrongly accused man-called  Roger O. Thornhill (played by Carry Grant), is actually a New York advertising executive who quickly into the movie is wrongly accused of being a spy under the name 'George Kaplan' and he is constantly being pursued by a mysterious group of men with intentions to kill Roger, who they believe to be the 'spy'. 

Roger is confronted by two men in suits that take Roger to their bosses house, who takes Roger up to his study/work room and believes Roger is this spy that they so believe him to be, Roger is interrogated and supplied with evidence by his interrogator (valerian) who have been apparently tracking the spies every move. After denying and astounded by what Roger has been charged of, Valerian tells his right hand man to 'get rid' of 'Thornhill', Roger is forced to drink an alcoholic substance, and wakes up in a car, which he has been placed in, about to drive off a cliff. Roger intoxicated manages to get a hold of the wheel, realising that it was going to look like a drunken suicide, he drives away and is then again pursued by the right hand men not realising he was going to be able to drive away. From there on out, Roger tries to hold an investigation with the police as to why these men feel Roger is someone who he believes himself not to be, in which even the police and his own mother conclude that Roger is in the wrong, finding no evidence of the night before where Roger was apparently trying to be killed. A bit later on Roger is talking with a man named Townsends with who Roger believes he can get help from, but however unsuspectedly and unnoticed stabs Townsends in the back with a throwing knife, making it look like Roger stabbed the man to the oblivious people around him, Roger is now wanted for from the police, going on the run from the police and his killers. From there on out, the film looks at how Roger is trying to be pursued by his killers, until he meets a woman on a train Eve (Eva Marie) who trusts and 'helps' Roger  hide from the police on this train by hiding him in her room on the train, Roger and Eve end up having some romance, but Eve hands a note to a mysterious man later on in the night, making up suspect her character. Eve has set up a meeting with Roger and Kaplan which may help Roger resolve all of this false identity, when Roger arrives at the place he has a short and strange conversation with a man who is 'waiting for the bus', suspicious as he just left from a car to get on a bus, Roger believes this man to be Kaplan however nothing comes from the small talk conversation and as soon as the bus leaves the deserted setting, a crop duster comes out from nowhere and tries to kill Roger, narrowingly missing his death by tricking the killer airmen to fly into a long truck. Suspicion arrives for Roger as he later realises that Eve has tricked him and is working for the men trying to kill Roger, he manages to track her down at an art collectors ceremony where she is with the men trying to kill Roger, Roger goes up to the two and manages to get Valian to think that Eve slept with Roger so she may not be on Valians side and he starts to suspect her (takes his hand away from her) with what Eve angrily tries to slap Roger, but Valian tries to get his henchmen ready for when Roger leaves to kill him. Roger makes a fool of himself by joining in with the bidding in which the people get upset and the police is called, (form of escape for Roger) and tells them how he is the murderer that apparently killed Townsend earlier on so he is furthered from his pursuers. However Townsend is driven and taken to a Professor (Leo G. Carrol). The Professor come clean and tells Roger that obviously this Kaplan does not exist, and that this whole false identity and creation of this fake spy was invented to distract Vandamm from the real government agent: Eve. Realising this, Roger still pretends that he is the spy, in order to protect Eve's identity. The next day, Roger meets to pose as Kaplan to negotiate Vandamm's offer to turn over Eve for the spy-Roger, Eve walks in and Roger confronts Eve about this whole facade in which Eve tells Roger to step back or she will shoot, in which she does and drives away. The Professor takes Thornhill to the forest and Thornhill gets out of the 'ambulance' as the shots fired were blanks. However, Eve says her goodbyes and tells of how she must fly away with Vandamm as to blow this all over, Thornhill tells  the Professor he is to go after Eve, although the professor tries to stop Roger. 

At Vandamm's house, the two men inside the house tell of how suspicion is arrised when Eve's gun was found with blanks. Realising this, Roger finds a way to communicate with Eve, upstairs that the two men suspicious of her and they are planning to kill her. A plane is waiting to land for Eve and the two men, but realising they plan to kill her, Eve tries to pull out all the stops to try and not board the plane. In the end, Eve does not board the plane and escapes down the mountains with Roger, while the two men are trying to climb down after them, they manage to fall to their deaths; the professor and help come at perfect timing to save Roger and Eve.
