The Fugitive

Starring Harrison Ford, Tommy Lee Jones, Sela Ward, Julianne Moore

Directed by renowned filmmaker Andrew Davis (Under Siege, Holes, Steal Big, Steal Little)

Wrongfully accused of murdering his wife, Richard Kimble (Harrison Ford) escapes from the law in an attempt to find her killer and clear his name. Pursuing him is a team of U.S. marshals led by Deputy Samuel Gerard (Tommy Lee Jones), a determined detective who will not rest until Richard is captured. As Richard leads the team through a series of intricate chases, he discovers the secrets behind his wife’s death and struggles to expose the killer before it is too late.

Unanimous raves from the critics:

Roger Ebert – “Andrew Davis’ The Fugitive is one of the best entertainments of the year, a tense, taut and expert thriller that becomes something more than that, an allegory about an innocent man in a world prepared to crush him.”

NY Times – “… a smashing success, a juggernaut of an action-adventure saga that owes nothing to the past. As directed sensationally by Andrew Davis and acted to steely perfection by Harrison Ford, Tommy Lee Jones and a flawless supporting cast, it is a film whose every element conspires to sustain crisp intelligence and a relentless pace. Tight editing, a powerhouse score, adroit sound effects and a clever, inventive screenplay all contribute mightily to the fever pitch. To put it simply, this is a home run.”
