‪“The Maltese Falcon” (1941) and “Dude, Where's My Car?” (2000) utilize the same primary plot driving technique known as a “MacGuffin‬”

‪An object is sought for various reasons which renders challenges and other events for the protagonists and antagonists‬

@cypnk I think a MacGuffin TV set makes an appearance in Wu Ming's "54", too.
