...films as The Game and Fight Club. The plot, set in the 1950s, is a festival of conspiracies involving Nazis, Soviets, lobotomizers, the CIA and LSD, plus some very crafty lunatics and an oddly convenient hurricane. Packed with word and number puzzles, like a Da Vinci Code with fewer chase scenes, Lehane's story was devised for the page, not the eye. Yet its psychological twists and the sense of emotional despair at its core were bound to attract moviemakers.

But as tends to be the case in animation, the square-jawed guy (the doctor) and his band of flirty hangers-on are set on saving her life.

Of course he was pulling for little brother, who at one time used to chase him down Whiteface Mountain in Lake Placid, where the family lives.
