43'''''The Fugitive''''' is a 1993 American [[action film|action]] [[thriller film]], directed by [[Andrew Davis (director)|Andrew Davis]] with a script co-written by [[Jeb Stuart (writer)|Jeb Stuart]] and [[David Twohy]], from a previous story draft which Twohy had written. Based on the [[The Fugitive (1963 TV series)|1960s television series of the same name]], it is the second release from the [[The Fugitive (franchise)|titular franchise]]. The film stars [[Harrison Ford]], [[Tommy Lee Jones]], [[Sela Ward]], [[Joe Pantoliano]], [[Andreas Katsulas]], and [[Jeroen Krabbé]]. The screenplay was written by [[David Twohy]] and [[Jeb Stuart (writer)|Jeb Stuart]] from a story by Twohy. The plot centers on Dr. Richard Kimble (Ford), a [[Vascular surgery|vascular surgeon]]. After being framed for the murder of his wife and sentenced to death, Dr. Kimble escapes from custody following a bus crash and sets out to find the real killer and clear his name while being hunted by the police and a team of [[United States Marshals Service|U.S. Marshals]].
44
45''The Fugitive'' premiered in [[Westwood, Los Angeles|Westwood, California]], on July 29, 1993, and was released in the United States on August 6, 1993. It was a critical and commercial success, spending six weeks as the #1 film in the United States, and grossing nearly $370 million worldwide against a $44 million budget. It was the [[1993 in film#Highest-grossing films|third-highest-grossing film of 1993]] domestically with an estimated 44 million tickets sold in the U.S. It was nominated for seven [[Academy Awards]] including [[Academy Award for Best Picture|Best Picture]]; Jones won for [[Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor|Best Supporting Actor]].<ref name="GoodNightOscars">{{cite news |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/109919042/jurassic-park-another-spielberg/ |title='Jurassic Park,' another Spielberg movie, also has good night with 3 awards |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220921024558/https://www.newspapers.com/clip/109919042/jurassic-park-another-spielberg/ |date=March 22, 1994 |access-date=September 21, 2022 |archive-date=September 21, 2022 |page=6 |publisher=[[The Orlando Sentinel]] |via=[[Newspapers.com]] |url-status=live}} {{Open access}}</ref> It was followed by a 1998 spin-off, ''[[U.S. Marshals (film)|U.S. Marshals]]'', in which Jones reprised his role as Deputy Marshal Gerard along with some others of his earlier Marshals team.

47==Plot==
48<!-- Per WP:FILMPLOT, the word count in this section should be 400-700 words. -->
49In January 1992, [[Chicago]] [[vascular]] [[surgeon]] Dr. Richard Kimble returns home to discover his wife, Helen, has been fatally wounded by a one-armed assailant. Despite his efforts, the attacker evades capture. Kimble's account of events is dismissed due to the absence of forced entry, Helen's substantial [[life insurance]] policy and a misinterpreted [[9-1-1|911]] result in Kimble's wrongful arrest. Consequently, he is [[Wrongful conviction|falsely accused]] of murder, convicted, and receives a death sentence.
50
51During [[Bus|transport]] to [[death row]], Kimble's fellow prisoners attempt an escape. In the unrest, two prisoners and the driver are killed, sending the bus down a ravine and into the path of an oncoming train. Kimble saves a correction officer and escapes the collision. Ninety minutes later, [[United States Marshals Service|Deputy US Marshal]] Samuel Gerard and his staff arrive at the derailment scene and launch a manhunt. Kimble sneaks into a hospital to treat his wounds and acquire clothing. After altering his appearance, Kimble steals an ambulance and almost gets caught in a tunnel, but evades most of the marshals by entering a storm drain. Gerard follows, slips, and loses one of his guns. Kimble finds it and proclaims his innocence, pointing the gun at Gerard, who replies he doesn't care. Gerard, spare gun in hand, corners Kimble over a [[Dam#Spillways|high spillway]]. Kimble jumps and escapes.
52
53Kimble returns to Chicago where he hunts to identify the real killer. He rents a cheap apartment and acquires money from his friend and colleague Dr. Charles Nichols. Kimble assumes the identity of a janitor to infiltrate the prosthetic department at [[John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County|Cook County Hospital]] to make a list of patients matching the killer. In the meantime, he changes the medical instructions for a misdiagnosed trauma patient, thus saving the patient's life, but his cover is blown and Kimble flees the building when a doctor becomes suspicious and alerts the authorities.
54
55Gerard suspects that Kimble is searching for the one-armed man and spots him at [[Chicago City Hall]] after interviewing a jailed suspect. After an intense chase, Kimble disappears into Chicago's St. Patrick's Day parade. Later, he breaks into the home of another suspect on his list, Frederick Sykes, and discovers a photo that confirms Sykes as the killer. Sykes is a former cop who now works security for Devlin-MacGregor, a pharmaceutical company that is releasing a new drug called Provasic. Kimble had researched and investigated the drug and found that it causes liver damage, which would have prevented [[Food and Drug Administration|FDA]] approval.
56
57Kimble figures out that Dr. Nichols, a board member of Devlin-MacGregor, covered up the perilous side effects of Provasic, by replacing unhealthy samples with healthy ones, to forcibly get it approved. Nichols further ordered Sykes to kill him in a staged burglary that went wrong, resulting in Helen's death, and presumably had Sykes kill Dr. Alec Lentz, another developer who also discovered the drug's risks. Kimble calls Gerard while still in Sykes' home, ensuring that the call is traced. Then Kimble flees, leaving open evidence. With this lead Gerard conducts his own parallel investigation. Kimble heads to a hotel conference where Nichols is presenting Provasic, but on his way there, he is attacked by Sykes on a [[Chicago "L"|train]]. Sykes kills a transit cop who interrupts the struggle, but Kimble overpowers him and handcuffs him to a pole.
58
59Kimble publicly confronts Nichols at the conference of the conspiracy and murders. This leads to a fight that spills onto the roof. Gerard and his team arrive before both men crash through a skylight onto a descending elevator. A shoot-to-kill order is issued for Kimble as the transit police officer's death is assumed to be his fault. However, Gerard stops a [[Chicago Police Department|police]] helicopter from sniping Kimble. Nichols regains consciousness and tries to escape through a laundry room, but Kimble follows him. Gerard calls out to Kimble, informing him of the conspiracy and his belief in Kimble's innocence. Nichols knocks out marshal Renfro, takes his gun, and tries to shoot Gerard, but Kimble saves him by attacking Nichols from behind.
60
61Kimble surrenders while Sykes and Nichols are arrested. He is escorted out of the hotel as the press questions the police about the newly found suspects, indicating his innocence. Gerard uncuffs Kimble and offers him an ice pack in the back of a squad car. They are driven away into the night, with Kimble's exoneration assured.

96==Production==
97===Casting===
98[[Harrison Ford]] was not originally cast for the role of [[Dr. Richard Kimble]]. Instead, a number of actors were auditioned for the part, including [[Alec Baldwin]], [[Nick Nolte]], [[Kevin Costner]], and [[Michael Douglas]]. Nolte in particular felt he was too old for the role (though he is only a year older than Ford).<ref name=Fone>{{cite web |url=http://news.moviefone.com/2013/08/07/the-fugitive-25-things-you-didnt-know/ |title='The Fugitive': 25 Things You (Probably) Didn't Know About the Harrison Ford Movie |publisher=MovieFone |date=2013-08-07 |access-date=2013-08-07 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130808181105/http://news.moviefone.com/2013/08/07/the-fugitive-25-things-you-didnt-know/ |archive-date=2013-08-08 |url-status=dead }}</ref> According to Ford in a 2023 interview with [[James Hibberd (writer)|James Hibberd]] of ''[[The Hollywood Reporter]]'', he pursued the role of Richard Kimble due to his liking to play characters who aren't like him in addition of his desire to grow a beard or a moustache for a role, which then [[Warner Bros.]] chairman [[Robert A. Daly]] often denied due to paying to see his face unchanged.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-features/harrison-ford-interview-shrinking-indy-5-1923-1235318736/ |title=Harrison Ford: "I Know Who the F*** I Am" |last=Hibberd |first=James |author-link=James Hibberd (writer) |website=[[The Hollywood Reporter]] |date=February 8, 2023 |access-date=February 9, 2023}}</ref> Although the role of Sam Gerard went to [[Tommy Lee Jones]], [[Gene Hackman]] and [[Jon Voight]] were both considered for the role. The character of Dr. Charles Nichols was recast for [[Jeroen Krabbé]] after the original actor who landed the role, [[Richard Jordan]], fell ill with a brain tumor. Jordan subsequently died three weeks after the film's release.<ref name=Fone />

100===Filming===
101Filming began in February 1993 and wrapped in mid-May.<ref name=WGN>WGN interview with Nick Digilio, [https://wgnradio.com/2019/08/20/director-andrew-davis-talks-25-years-of-the-fugitive/ Director Andrew Davis talks 25 years of "The Fugitive"], August 20, 2019</ref><ref name="ford">{{cite book|last1=Pfeiffer |first1=Lee |last2=Lewis |first2=Michael |title=The Films of Harrison Ford |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=DBxQmo2T7PoC&dq=fugitive+wrapped+principal+photography+1993&pg=PA208 |publisher= Citadel |location=New York City, NY |year=1999 |isbn=978-0806519982}}</ref> Filming locations included [[Bryson City, North Carolina|Bryson City]] and [[Dillsboro, North Carolina]]; [[Blount County, Tennessee]]; and Chicago.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://movies.yahoo.com/movie/the-fugitive-1993/production-details.html |title=The Fugitive Production Details |publisher=[[Yahoo! Movies]] |access-date=2012-12-23}}</ref> Although almost half of the film is set in rural Illinois, a large portion of the principal filming was actually shot in [[Jackson County, North Carolina]], in the [[Great Smoky Mountains]].
102
103The prison transport bus and freight train wreck scenes were filmed along the [[Great Smoky Mountains Railroad]] just outside their depot in Dillsboro; the wreckage can still be seen from the railroad's excursion trains.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.gsmr.com/train-FAQ#how-long-is-the-tuckasegee-excursion |title=Great Smoky Mountain Railroad Frequently Asked Questions |publisher=www.gsmr.com |access-date=2020-04-20 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180714223510/https://www.gsmr.com/index.php?q=train-FAQ#how-long-is-the-tuckasegee-excursion |archive-date=July 14, 2018 }}</ref> The train crash, which cost $1 million to film, was shot in a single take using a real train with a locomotive whose engine had been removed.<ref name=WGN/><ref name="Fone" /> The wreck took several weeks to plan and was preceded by several test runs with a boxcar and a log car.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raalmAFeloA |title=Making of the Fugitive Train Wreck | publisher=Great Scenic Railway Journeys |access-date=2020-04-23 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200424005352/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raalmAFeloA |archive-date=April 24, 2020 }}</ref>
104
105Scenes in the hospital after Kimble initially escapes were filmed at Harris Regional Hospital in [[Sylva, North Carolina]]. [[Cheoah Dam]] in [[Deals Gap (Swain County), North Carolina|Deals Gap]] was the location of the scene in which Kimble jumps from the dam.
106
107The rest of the film was shot in Chicago, including some of the dam scenes, which were filmed in the remains of the [[Chicago Tunnel Company|Chicago freight tunnels]]. The city hall stair chase (where Kimble narrowly escapes being apprehended by Gerard) was filmed in the corridors and lobby of [[Chicago City Hall]]. The character Sykes lived in the historic [[Pullman, Chicago|Pullman]] neighborhood of Chicago. Harrison Ford uses the pay phone in the Pullman Pub, and then climbs a ladder and runs down the roofline of the historic rowhouses.<ref>{{cite AV media |year=1993 |title=The Fugitive |medium=dvd |time=1:26:15 |publisher=Warner Bros. |location=Chicago, Illinois }}</ref> According to [[Andrew Davis (director)|Andrew Davis]], it was Ford's idea to film in Chicago. "Originally I wasn't even going to try to come to Chicago. I thought that the weather would be too cold and difficult for shooting. But Harrison, having seen several of my prior films shot in Chicago, suggested doing it here." Ford would later explain, "I grew up in Chicago, went to college in Wisconsin, and came back to take summer jobs for three years. I felt this was the best possible option as a location...We could get the grittiness, we could get the flash of architecture, the charm of the lake. It has it all."<ref name="ford"/>
108
109The chase scene during the St. Patrick's Day Parade was filmed during the actual parade held that year on Wednesday, March 17, 1993, with Mayor [[Richard M. Daley]] and Illinois Attorney General [[Roland Burris]] briefly seen as actual participants.<ref>{{cite AV media |year=1993 |title=The Fugitive |medium=dvd |time=1:22:35 |publisher=Warner Bros. |location=Chicago, Illinois }}</ref> Besides ''The Fugitive'', another feature film, [[Michael Apted]]'s ''[[Blink (1993 film)|Blink]]'', was filmed during the exact same parade. According to Charles Geocaris, then head of the Chicago Film Office, both productions approached the film office in February about filming during the parade. Location managers and production managers for both films worked out the logistics with parade organizers, but according to Geocaris, the two camera crews would still occasionally run into each other during their shoots. Complicating matters was the weather which was fairly cold at 21 degrees Fahrenheit (below freezing) along with a windchill factor of minus 6. Nevertheless, disruption was at a minimum, with Geocaris recalling that "people on the parade route were laughing as Tommy Lee Jones chased Harrison Ford...It was a fun thing for them."<ref name="Geocaris">{{cite news|last=Warren |first=Ellen |title=The 1993 parade: 'Fugitive' vs. 'Blink' |url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-2002-03-15-0203150287-story.html |work=[[Chicago Tribune]] |date=15 May 2002 |access-date=5 July 2021}}</ref>

111Cinematographer [[Michael Chapman (cinematographer)|Michael Chapman]] credits Davis for the film's distinctive use of [[Chicago]], which drew much praise upon its release. "A lot of it really feels like Chicago, because it just has a native's eye to it. That's Andy's, not mine. He knew where to look."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90mM89c5v-U |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211213/90mM89c5v-U |archive-date=2021-12-13 |url-status=live| publisher=Web of Stories - Life Stories of Remarkable People | title= Michael Chapman - 'The Fugitive': Harrison Ford and Andrew Davis |access-date=2020-06-25 }}{{cbignore}}</ref> Chapman was actually hired a week into production after his predecessor was fired, and he claims he only took the job because the money was too good. Throughout the production, Chapman would go back and forth between documentary and theatrical methods, using handheld cameras and natural light for scenes like the first house raid and then adding unexpected light sources throughout the tunnel chase as the realistic absence of light was deemed unfeasible.<ref name="youtube.com">{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUDLSwQP6y4 |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211213/LUDLSwQP6y4 |archive-date=2021-12-13 |url-status=live| publisher=Web of Stories - Life Stories of Remarkable People | title= Michael Chapman - 'The Fugitive': Lighting and crashing the train |access-date=2020-06-25 }}{{cbignore}}</ref> Though his work was later recognized with an Academy Award nomination, Chapman said it was an unhappy experience as he never got along with Davis. "I said 'I hated being there' and 'I was the wrong guy' and cursed...but it all worked out, so you never know."<ref name="youtube.com"/>
112
113Much of the film was rewritten throughout production and typically on the day each scene was supposed to shoot. According to Davis, he never met with credited screenwriter [[David Twohy]], whose main contribution was writing the train crash. Beyond that, Davis said "he wasn't involved in anything we did. Jeb Stuart was there with us...basically responding to things we were coming up with all the time...[Warner Bros.] can't talk about this because of the Writers Guild, but Tommy Lee Jones, myself, Harrison [Ford] and other people who were close with us, especially coming up with the whole plot about the pharmaceuticals, they were uncredited writers."<ref name="Topel">{{cite news |last= Topel |first= Fred |title= Exclusive Interview: Andrew Davis on The Fugitive 20th Anniversary Edition |work= Mandatory |date= September 3, 2013 |url= http://www.mandatory.com/fun/563385-exclusive-interview-andrew-davis-on-the-fugitive-20th-anniversary-edition/2 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180627173410/http://www.mandatory.com/fun/563385-exclusive-interview-andrew-davis-on-the-fugitive-20th-anniversary-edition/2 |archive-date=June 27, 2018 }}</ref> [[Jane Lynch]], who was cast as Dr. Kathy Wahlund in one of her first film roles, recalled having that experience, with both Ford and herself working out new dialogue for their scene right before they filmed it as Ford "didn't like the scene as it was written."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRwCxLJJhIY |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211213/SRwCxLJJhIY |archive-date=2021-12-13 |url-status=live| work=[[People (magazine)|People]] | title= Jane Lynch Shares The Advice Harrison Ford Gave Her On The Set Of 'The Fugitive' |access-date=2020-06-25 }}{{cbignore}}</ref>
114
115Given Ford's limited window of availability, Davis had only ten weeks to edit, mix and finish the film between the last day of shooting and the day it opened in theaters.<ref name="Topel"/> To meet their schedule, producer Peter MacGregor-Scott set up seven editing suites at Warner Hollywood Studios and had a team of editors cutting around the clock as they each worked on different scenes.<ref>{{cite news |last= Simon |first= Alex |title= Andrew Davis Returns to Stony Island |work= The Hollywood Interview |date= November 28, 2012 |url= http://thehollywoodinterview.blogspot.com/2012/04/andrew-davis-hollywood-interview.html }}</ref> Each editor would be recognized for their work on the film with an Academy Award nomination.
116
117==Music==
118[[James Newton Howard]] composed the film's musical score, which [[Janet Maslin]] of ''[[The New York Times]]'' called "hugely effective".<ref>{{cite news |last= Maslin |first= Janet |author-link= Janet Maslin |title= The Fugitive (1993): Review/Film; Back on the Trail Of a One-Armed Man |work= [[The New York Times]] |date= August 6, 1993 |url= https://www.nytimes.com/movie/review?res=9F0CE3DB1030F935A3575BC0A965958260 |access-date= December 24, 2014}}</ref>
119
120Howard had a difficult time scoring the film, recalling that "''The Fugitive'' really kicked my ass. When I was hired for it, I was terrified." He became more despondent after listening to [[Jerry Goldsmith]]'s work, which he had been using as placeholders for scenes that needed music. Howard wasn't confident that he could match the quality of those temporary cues, but he refused to quit, eventually conceding that his score would be a "quasi-failure". He was particularly dissatisfied with his work on the chase scenes, believing his string arrangements were too awkward. When he was given an Academy Award nomination, Howard said "I was completely shocked. I just didn't think [my score] was worthy of a nomination, but that's often what happens. It worked, and the movie was so good. It makes everybody look better."<ref>{{cite news |last= Caffrey |first= Dan |title= Fantastic Beasts Composer James Newton Howard on His Personal Favorite Scores |work= [[Consequence of Sound]] |date= November 15, 2016 |url= https://consequenceofsound.net/2016/11/fantastic-beasts-composer-james-newton-howard-on-his-personal-favorite-scores/ |access-date= June 25, 2020}}</ref>

122[[Elektra Records]] released an album featuring selections from the score on August 31, 1993.

245[[Desson Thomson|Desson Howe]], writing in ''[[The Washington Post]]'', called the film "A juggernaut of exaggeration, momentum and thrills—without a single lapse of subtlety—"Fugitive" is pure energy, a perfect orchestration of heroism, villainy, suspense and comic relief.

247The film was not without its detractors. [[Geoff Andrew]] of ''[[Time Out (company)|Time Out]]'' viewed the film as "A glossy, formula chase movie with the requisite number of extravagant action sequences".

It is a dangerous strategy, and could lead to laughable close calls and near-misses, but Davis tells the story of the pursuit so clearly on the tactical level that we can always understand why Kimble is only so far ahead, and no further.

Directed and photographed with a flair, this part of the movie keeps viewers on the edges of their seats. Most importantly, when on the run, Kimble acts like an intelligent human being.

431* In 1998, a parody film ''[[Wrongfully Accused]]'', based on ''The Fugitive'', was developed with [[Leslie Nielsen]] portraying the principal character. Although the film spoofs many other motion pictures such as ''[[Mission: Impossible (film)|Mission: Impossible]]'' and ''[[Titanic (1997 film)|Titanic]]'', the storyline revolves around Nielsen's character being framed for a murder, as he escapes from federal custody to seek out the real suspect behind the crime.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.allmovie.com/movie/wrongfully-accused-v168197 |title=Wrongfully Accused (1998)|publisher=[[AllMovie]] |access-date=2014-04-18}}</ref>
