Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaHarrison Ford damaged some ligaments in his leg during the filming of the scenes in the woods. He refused to take surgery until the end of filming so that his character would keep the limp. The limp can be seen in any subsequent scene where Richard Kimble is running.
- GoofsKimble's attorney had many opportunities to suppress or refute evidence that may have helped Kimble's case. For example, Kimble's fingerprints being found on his own lamp and his own gun should not have raised any suspicion, yet it's implied that the defense never used this evidence. Also, Kimble's attorney should have looked into alternate explanations as to why there was no forced entry into the Kimbles' home the night of the murder; the question of to whom Richard lent his keys would have brought up.

Featured review
A great chase thriller with star power
This excellent film details the adventure of a man's search for his wife's killer and to clear himself of her murder. Harrison Ford is the hero and wanted man and on the run to escape capture by a determined U.S. Marshal in one thrilling scene after another. A spectacular train wreck with a bus of prison-bound felons gets the action underway at which point Tommy Lee Jones enters the picture and takes over the film by sheer force of personality and doesn't let go. Harrison, a resourceful type, stays just ahead of Jones in this taut cat-and-mouse thriller and adroitly leaves just enough clues for the police as he closes in on the killer. Ford and Jones are well matched here in one of the best urban crime mysteries ever filmed. Cast and Chicago locations add realism to a great story.
