This classic Hitchcock brain twister contains the ingredients of a grand spy mystery, a wild chase and a harrowing portrait of an innocent man struggling to prove his innocence while the world turns inexplicably against him. Richard Hannay is on vacation in London when he meets a mysterious woman who tells him of a spy ring which she is trying to crack. She doesn`t know the identity of the masterspy, but does know a few revealing details. Later she is murdered - before Hannay can learn anything more. His own life now in danger, Hannay sets out to solve a mystery. The 39 Steps richly displays Hitchcock`s complete and playful mastery of the language of filmmaking
