Origin and background of the character
Released in 1959,North by Northwest is a legendary action thriller directed by the master of suspense, Alfred Hitchcock. The plot opens with a remarkable case of mistaken identity: due to a simple case of mistaken identity, the mild-mannered New York advertising executive Roger Thornhill, played by Cary Grant, finds himself hunted across the United States by a mysterious espionage organisation that mistakes him for a secret agent named George Kaplan. Forced to flee from the police and mysterious assassins, his escape takes him through iconic scenes that have gone down in cinema history, from the legendary attack by an airmail plane in the open countryside to the dizzying final chase across the carved faces of Mount Rushmore. This Funko Pop! figurine faithfully captures the hero’s smart and distinguished appearance in his iconic grey suit, making it an exceptional piece for all discerning film buffs and lovers of retro masterpieces.
