North By Northwest
A Thriller North By Northwest (1959) by Alfred Hitchcock is a perfect example of a thriller. To prove it I would start with a plot. Thrillers has a villain driven plot. In this movie there is a villain and a hero.
Villain - Phillip Vandamm
(James Mason)
Hero - Roger O. Thornhill
(Cary Grant)
In thrillers, villain is usually wealthier and more resourceful than hero. In North By Northwest Phillip Vandamm is wealthier and more resourceful than Roger O. Thornhill as Vandamm has more money and men who are working for him. Vandamm makes Thornhill overcome a lot of difficulties as he is trying to get rid of him, while Thornhill has to do his best and stay alive.
In this movie there are guns and danger as it has to be in thriller movies.
In this scene Roger O. Thornhill pretends to be shot down to trick the villain Phillip Vandamm to think that he died and stop coming after him.
In this scene Thornhill had to overcome a difficulty made by Vandamm who was trying to kill him. Thornhill does not have anything to fight against the plain with, however he still manages to stay alive and move on towards finding out the truth.

In this movie there is a frequent action. It starts when Thornhill get kidnapped by two men sent by Vandamm.

Then the men gets Thornhill drunk and makes him drive the car straight to the ocean. However, he realizes what is happening and drives away without Vandamm's men catching him.
Later on, Thornhill has to keep on running from Vandamm and his traps as well as death that was so close to him.
This movie also has a climax as well as all of the thrillers. The climax starts when Thornhill find out why he was being hunted as an officer explains him the situation and the confusion. It ends when Thornhill finally 'beats' Vandamm and his men even though with the help of the others.
There is not always a happy ending in thrillers but after constant action and fear, Alfred Hitchcock gives the audience a rest.
