Strangers on a Train

1951 USA 101 mins (PG) Thriller

Tennis pro Guy and mysterious admirer Bruno meet and decide to trade murders. Bruno is to kill Guy's unfaithful wife and Guy is to murder Bruno's spiteful father. Needless to say in a Hitchcock thriller, nothing goes quite to plan. The suspense is ratcheted up to a white-knuckle finale.

When two middle-aged friends go on a road trip round the vineyards of California, they have different agendas.

On an Arctic island in NE Russia, Sergei, a veteran scientist, is joined at the rundown weather station by young student Pavel. The student's frivolous ways ensure a clash of personalities.
