The objectives of this study were to 1) Study the narrative analysis of the 1934 novel and the 2017 films Murder on the Orient Express, and 2) Study narrative adaptation from script to film, using Murder on the Orient Express as a case study. This study used a qualitative research methodology with a documentary research and text analysis method. This study found that 1) Narrative Analysis. The main story remains the same as in the novel, but there is a different order in which the plot is presented. The 2017 film introduces a sequence of events not present in the original script, adds new scenes, and focuses on presenting modern elements. This represents an additional interpretation by the creators. And 2) Narrative Adaptation. Most modifications involve expanded content. Scenes not in the original script were added to the film. It received lower ratings from critics and viewers than the first version of the film because it added unnecessary elements, causing the loss of the story's naturalness and original atmosphere. This can be summarized as the "AGATHA" model, guiding the analysis of storytelling in crime, drama, and mystery films.
