Synopsis
New York advertising executive Roger Thornhill (Cary Grant) is mistaken for a man named George Kaplan by a ring of spies, framed for murder, and pursued cross country by both the police and the bad guys hiding out in the sleeping compartment of Eve Kendall (Eva Marie Saint) on the 20th Century Limited train bound for Chicago. After Thornhill has a harrowing encounter with a crop duster on the Indiana prairie, he and Kendall eventually find themselves in a chase across the faces of Mount Rushmore.
