While driving to see her boyfriend in another state, she becomes tired and stops for the night at a small, lonely motel run by a quiet, awkward young man named Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins). Norman lives in the shadow of his mysterious and controlling mother, who he says stays in the old house behind the motel. Later that night, Marion is brutally murdered. When Marion doesn’t return home, her sister Lila (Vera Miles), and Marion’s boyfriend Sam (John Gavin), begin searching for her.
