CELEBRATE CINEMA AND HELP RIVERRUN SUPPORT THE ARTS WITH A RETRO SCREENING – NORTH BY NORTHWEST – OCTOBER 25
Join us for a special RiverRun Retro screening of Alfred Hitchcock’s iconic thriller North by Northwest, celebrating the film’s 65th anniversary. This cinematic classic stars Eva Marie Saint, who turned 100 this year, and was directed by the legendary Alfred Hitchcock, marking what would have been his 125th birthday. Don’t miss this opportunity to experience the suspense and style of one of Hitchcock’s greatest films on the big screen in its special 4k restoration. Best of all, net ticket proceeds will support the NC Arts Disaster Relief Fund, helping Western North Carolina’s artistic community rebuild after Hurricane Helene.
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.
