Immortalized by its iconic scene of Cary Grant being pursued by a crop-dusting plane, North by Northwest brings together all the defining elements of Hitchcock’s cinema. Seamlessly blending suspense and humor, the film offers an exhilarating and entertaining viewing experience, delivering new surprises in nearly every scene.

Drawing the audience into its playful universe with an opening title sequence designed by Saul Bass—one of the most influential designers of the twentieth century—the film follows a New York advertising executive who, due to a case of mistaken identity, finds himself caught between government agents and spies as he struggles to prove his innocence.

Released to great acclaim and awarded Academy Awards for Best Original Screenplay, Best Film Editing, and Best Art Direction in its year of release, North by Northwest remains one of Hitchcock’s most beloved masterpieces. The leading roles are shared by Cary Grant—who also collaborated with Hitchcock on Notorious, To Catch a Thief, and Suspicion—and Eva Marie Saint, unforgettable for her performance in On the Waterfront.
