Default Literature quiz

All right, here we ask question about litrerature works, heroes, plots, situations.
Any form is acceptable: quotation, description of a plot or a situation, illustration from the book or a movie based on the book.
Reuirements to the question: should give at least one clue to the author or a book, or contain recognisable situation with reference to well known description of the character or a situation, or a plot.
Let's get started? :wink:
Gues, it would be easy...
Look at the photos and tell me the author and the story on which the above movie was based. :biggrin:
Good luck!

Can't even invoke vague recollection here.

Of course, you cannot. The movie was shot in 1962 in USSR. So, in good conscience, I didn't require you to recognise the movie. I am still sane enough not to ask for that! :wink: :biggrin:What I asked is to recognise were the characters and the story.
Need a hint?
Paraphrasing one of the characters of the story, he says that 10 minutes will be enough for him to cross the Central, Southern, and Middle Western States and move fast for the Canadian border. :biggrin:

Ring no bell here, except a fanfic parody where Wolverine is supposed to go shopping in the mall.

What about games in Indians and Trappers, riding a horse of a man, taking scalps and all such stuff? :biggrin:

Hmmm - looks overly violent, but I'm going to guess JM Barrie's Peter Pan :smilie:

Sorry to say but you are moving wrong direction, WS. All right, it's taking too long. The key word of the whole story is ransom. :smilie:
