North by Northwest is a good example of a typical thriller as it has all the aspects needed to make up a thriller. Such as a good build up to a dramatic, action scene. This really helps engage the audience as the viewers are constantly being teased with small amounts of action building up to this one large action scene and then they are thrilled by one dramatic sequence.
One other aspect of this film that is a typical thriller theme is the idea of one person, the protagonist, battling his way against a large amount antagonists that want something from him and in most scenarios want to kill the protagonist. Such as in 'North by Northwest' the antagonists are trying to capture and get information from the main character. Then it leads to them trying to kill the main protagonist.
The plot of this film also contains an unexpected twist at the end that surprises the viewers. [SPOILER] The audience believe that the main protagonist is dead when he gets shot and when the audience find out that he is not dead, it shocks the audience.
