Our take on The Fugitive

Andrew Davis's 1993 thriller follows Richard Kimble, a man wrongly convicted of murdering his wife and sentenced to death, who escapes custody to hunt the real killer and clear his name. Built as a relentless chase, the film keeps two engines running at once: Kimble's desperate, methodical search and the dogged pursuit of the marshals tracking him. That double momentum makes it a lean, tightly plotted mix of action, drama and suspense, more about pressure and pursuit than spectacle. It suits viewers who like a smart, adult manhunt with a wronged hero at its center and a cat-and-mouse dynamic that never lets the tension slacken.
