SYNOPSIS
Alfred Hitchcock directs James Stewart in this macabre spellbinder about two thrill-seeking friends who strangle a classmate and then hold a party for their victim’s family and friends. Shot as a series of long takes edited together to create just four shots, ROPE remains a stylistically daring, formally audacious thriller from the master of suspense, supported by a stellar ensemble cast and a sharp screenplay that still has audiences on the edge of their seats.
