  1. North by Northwest (1959)
    "This British thriller directed by Hitchcock features an innocent man on the run, a theme central to *North by Northwest*. Hitchcock himself acknowledged the connection, noting that *The 39 Steps* led to *North by Northwest*, though executed differently." This Is "The Most Perfect Action Film Ever Made," According to Guillermo del Toro Federico Furzan MovieWeb
  2. The Fugitive (1993)
    "Alfred Hitchcock's "The 39 Steps" is a classic "wrong man" thriller, a genre that heavily influenced "The Fugitive." Both films feature protagonists unjustly accused and on the run to prove their innocence." The Fugitive Was The Rare Action Movie To Get Nominated For Best Picture – And It Deserved It William Bibbiani SlashFilm
  3. The Bourne Identity (2002)
    "Alfred Hitchcock's classic thriller features a man wrongfully accused and pursued across the country, a narrative echoed in Jason Bourne's journey." Entertainment Weekly source
