Un pubblicitario, Roger Thornhill, viene scambiato per un agente di nome George Kaplan e rapito da un’organizzazione spionistica che tenta di ucciderlo. Riesce a fuggire, ma nessuno vuol credere alla sua storia: anzi, per un altro equivoco, viene accusato dell’assassinio di un diplomatico. Una misteriosa bionda conosciuta sul treno, Eva Kendall, sembra aiutarlo... Uno delle pellicole migliori mai realizzate. Uno dei capolavori del maestro del brivido Alfred Hitchcock.
