The 1959 classic Alfred Hitchcock spy thriller North By Northwest is a movie about mistaken identity which sees Cary Grant’s Roger O. Thornhill pursued across the United States by agents of a mysterious organisation, as they believe he a man named Kaplan who is trying to interfere in their plans to smuggle out microfilm containing government secrets.
At Mount Rushmore’s visitor centre, Thornhill is confronted as part of a ruse by Eva Marie Saint’s Eve Kendall. She fires blanks at him to make others think he has been shot. A child performing as an extra can be seen in the background blocking his ears prior to the gun going off, when he really shouldn’t have known it was going to happen at all.
