Following is a 1998 British independent neo-noir crime thriller film written and directed by Christopher Nolan. It tells the story of a young man who follows strangers around the streets of London and is drawn into a criminal underworld when he fails to keep his distance.
A struggling young writer takes to following strangers around the streets of London, ostensibly to find inspiration for his new novel. He mistakenly begins to follow a professional thief who, in-turn, invites the young writer to accompany him on various burglaries. The writer gets a thrill out of the burglaries and begins to take on the habits and lifestyle of a thief and a stalker. A series of dangerous and suspicious events get the young writer into some hot water and he must soon find a way out.
