Maguffin

A Maguffin is a device used by Alfred Hitchcock in his films.

A Maguffin is an object which the story evolves around and
motivates the characters. For example in a film where terrorist are trying to retrieve blue prints of a weapon of mass destruction while a group of spies prevent them from doing so. The  the blue prints in this film would be the Maguffin.
