(Insert trailer here later)
North by northwest is a 1959 thriller directed by Alfred Hitchcock, starring Carrey Grant, a well known actor in the 1950's. The trailer is standard thriller, showing only a little of the plot, while showng off quite a bit of excitement and action, making people want to come and see the action and thrills of this film.
The story follows Roger o' Thornhill, (Carrey Grant) who is mistaken for goverment spy George Kaplan. As he is pursued across the country by enemy spies, he has to outwit them at every turn, all while keeping the microfilm out of their hands.
This film use multiple thriller techniques, including:
Red herrings: The audience is made to believe the George Kaplan the ''spy'' who Roger is mistaken for, actually does not exsist, ad is a red herring for the enemy to distract them from the real spy, Eve.
Macguffin: An object that exsists only to forward th plot, with no other use or purpose, in this case the microfilm, which contains some infomation that th enemy wants.
