DESCRIPTION:While having lunch at the Plaza Hotel in New York\, advertising
  executive Roger O. Thornhill (Cary Grant) has the bad luck to call for a m
 essenger just as a page goes out for a "George Kaplan." From that moment\, 
 Thornhill finds that he has stepped into a nightmare -- he is quietly abduc
 ted by a pair of armed men out of the hotel's famous Oak Room and transport
 ed to a Long Island estate\; there\, he is interrogated by a mysterious man
  (James Mason) who\, believing that Roger is George Kaplan\, demands to kno
 w what he knows about his business and how he has come to acquire this know
 ledge. Roger\, who knows nothing about who any of these people are\, can do
  nothing but deny that he is Kaplan or that he knows what they're talking a
 bout. Finally\, his captors force a bottle of bourbon into Roger and put hi
 m behind the wheel of a car on a dangerous downhill stretch. Through sheer 
 luck and the intervention of a police patrol car and its driver (John Berad
 ino)\, Roger survives the ride and evades his captors\, and is booked for d
 runk driving. He's unable to persuade the court\, the county detectives\, o
 r even his own mother (Jesse Royce Landis) of the truth of his story\, howe
 ver -- Thornhill returns with them to the mansion where he was held\, only 
 to find any incriminating evidence cleaned up and to learn that the owner o
 f the house is a diplomat\, Lester Townsend (Philip Ober)\, assigned to the
  United Nations. He backtracks to the hotel to find the room of the real Ge
 orge Kaplan\, only to discover that no one at the hotel has ever actually s
 een the man. With his kidnappers once again pursuing him\, Thornhill decide
 s to confront Townsend at the United Nations\, only to discover that he kno
 ws nothing of the events on Long Island\, or his house being occupied -- bu
 t before he can learn more\, Townsend gets a knife in his back in full view
  of 50 witnesses who believe that Roger did it. Now on the run from a murde
 r charge\, complete with a photograph of him holding the weapon plastered o
 n the front page of every newspaper in the country\, Thornhill tries to esc
 ape via train -- there he meets the cooly beautiful Eve Kendall (Eva Marie 
 Saint)\, who twice hides him from the police\, once spontaneously and a sec
 ond time in a more calculated rendezvous in her compartment that gets the t
 wo of them together romantically\, at least for the night. By the next day\
 , he's off following a clue to a remote rural highway\, where he is attacke
 d by an armed crop-dusting plane\, one of the most famous scenes in Hitchco
 ck's entire film output. Thornhill barely survives\, but he does manage to 
 learn that his mysterious tormentor/interrogator is named Phillip Vandamm\,
  and that he goes under the cover of being an art dealer and importer/expor
 ter\, and that Eve is in bed with him in every sense of the phrase -- or is
  she? ~ Bruce Eder\, All Movie Guide
