The Fugitive (1993)

Genre: Action / Thriller

Directed by: Andrew Davis

Starring: Harrison Ford, Tommy Lee Jones, Sela Ward

Running time: 130 minutes

Based on the television series of the same name, The Fugitive tells the story of Dr. Richard Kimble, a vascular surgeon who gets wrongfully convicted of his wife’s murder and sentenced to death. There is a bus crash on the way to the prison, so Kimble manages to escape the authorities. The doctor tries to stay on the loose long enough to prove his innocence, all the while being pursued by Deputy US Marshall Samuel Gerard and his team.

This is such a good action movie. It is long, but it keeps you on the edge of your seat all the way through. Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones are extremely good in their respective roles and it is easy to root for Dr. Kimble in his quest to clear his name.

I have always loved a story where a man that is not necessarily a powerhouse manage to survive and conquer thanks to his brain. This is one of those cases.
