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

For analogy purposes in this talk I'm giving on Tuesday. The only thing I can think of at the moment is Pi, where everyone wants to get their hands on Max because he has the magic number. Something like that, except more mainstream. There's gotta be something.

A film with Michael Douglas. I think its title is 'The Game', not sure.

At the beginning of the film it's douglas' birthday, it's cool because maybe he's gonna have

cake, but all on a sudden a guy with a gun pops in the kitchen in order to kidnap him. Douglas has to run away, become more and more paranoiac and avoid several traps only to find later all this mess was just a fucking joke commissioned by his wife or someone else for his birthday.

 

 

The Game

 

and there is also Irreversible,

Vincent cassel looking for his wife's raper rapist.

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.
