上个世纪60年代，一个名叫阿尔弗莱德・希区柯克（安东尼・霍普金斯饰）的电影人，在毫不知名的情况下，在无人投资的境遇中，在妻子兼合作伙…

影片从希区柯克获得《惊魂记》的小说改编权开始讲述，记录了希区柯克为这部电影的拍摄所付出的种种努力，包括编剧、执导、拍摄、剪辑、寻找投资和宣传上的工作，细致地表现了一个导演在拍摄电影时候的种种状态。影片中，希区柯克为了寻找到合适的演员而费尽了心思，他对影片的全情投入也使得他和妻子的关系渐渐僵化。　　后来，这部黑白的、低成本的恐怖片获得了巨大的成功--不仅是票房上的、更是文化和评论以及意义上的。而这部电影，也成为了1960年代的经典之作。

英国小说家汤姆·麦卡锡以博尔赫斯的《1983年8月25日》的故事为基础，编写了这部影片，原著故事中，阿尔弗莱德·希区柯克碰见了老年版的自己。电影以对罗恩·柏瑞吉的访谈为主，柏瑞吉是格里蒙普莱2005年的《寻找艾尔弗雷德》中，众多酷似希区柯克中的一个，身材肥大，头戴黑色礼帽，影片还精心剪辑了50年代末60年代初的一些文献资料。这些资料包括古巴导弹危机的消息，美苏卫星发射的报道，原子弹测试以及尼克松和赫鲁晓夫的厨房辩论。此外，还有希区柯克对他的电视节目进行嘲讽性介绍的片段。影片逐渐发展下去，这种平行类比就越来越清晰起来。最后，两个希区柯克相遇了。

Barbie Hallem is a bored rich girl, who drinks too much, parties too much and flirts outrageously with any man she meets. And there's no reason to think she stops at flirting, even though she has a boyfriend. But her boyfriend is a drip. He won't punch out a guy when he sees her kissing him. The dullard even tries to take her home when she gets drunk at a party. What she wants to do is go up to the mountains and stay at the cabin her uncle left to her. The boyfriend tries to tag along, but she manages to abandon him at the side of the road. Before the night is over, she'll wish desperately she had just gone home.
