In Chicago, Illinois, Dr. Richard Kimble (Harrison Ford) is falsely convicted of killing his wife. When he escapes from prison, he sets out to find out the real killer, with U.S. Marshall Sam Gerard (Tommy Lee Jones) and his team hot on his trail.
Director Andrew Davis combines elements of action, thriller, prison movie, and murder mystery, with a phenomenal result. The plot may seem ordinary, but this movie is far from ordinary! There are suspenseful scenes throughout, as well as well-staged action and stunts.
But the cat-and-mouse game between Ford and Jones (who won an Oscar) is what makes this movie work. It's a rare instance where you're rooting for both sides. Another rarity is that the movie is undeniably long but keeps the viewer occupied every minute.
If you need to escape, rent "The Fugitive."
