Can you think of a well-known film or book where different people are chasing one guy?

Chaser - Korean movie.

i say either pi or north by northwest.

pi is pretty kickass though. you can show that "we've got the fucking gun!" scene.

lol some good ideas in this thread, thanks guys, some particularly humorous given the context of the paper. I'm doing a PhD in medieval history and for anyone who cares to know, this talk is about St. Wilfrid's (seventh-century Anglo-Saxon bishop) travels on the continent. I was trying to think of some modern analogue of his efforts to evade the wrath of the Frankish duke Ebroin and some other enemies back home in England, all of whom wanted his head. I think North By Northwest is the best suggestion so far.

I thought the American Dream turned out to be some delapidated bar.

Oh the Lone Wolf and Cub series is good for this.

Catch me if you Can

Pi?

Pi?

Who said Pi? If the requirement is well known, is that not very different to 'the few who like films made by that guy dating Rachel Weisz'?
