Strangers on a Train

It starts with a shriek of a train whistle... and ends with shrieking excitement! Tennis star Guy Haines meets a stranger on the Washington-to-New York train who offers to exchange murders. The stranger, Bruno Anthony, will kill Guy’s estranged wife if Guy will kill Bruno’s hated father. Guy does not take Bruno seriously until his wife, Miriam, is found dead in an amusement park. Thus ensues a web of suspense and surprise, which is guaranteed to leave you on the edge of your seat. This 1951 masterpiece is one of Alfred Hitchcock’s most captivating works. STRANGERS ON A TRAIN focuses on questions of doppelgängers and mistaken identity, and perfectly exemplifies Hitchcock’s favourite theme of the evil that lurks just below the surface of everyday life and ordinary men.
