Inspired by Alfred Hitchcock's 1959 film about a hapless New York advertising executive being mistaken for a government agent by a group of foreign spies. He is pursued across the country while he looks for a way to survive. The elements were intended to give the viewer a feeling of the suspense of the chase and to indicate the distance he is followed. The plane was a necessary addition because of the signature scene when Cary Grant dives for his life.
