Harrison Ford had it all - a beautiful wife, a flourishing medical career and a big chunky beard. But then a sinister one-armed man murdered his wife and the bumbling cop blamed him and he had no choice but to become The Fugitive.

Being The Fugitive is a tough business. He spends most of the movie running around Chicago being resourceful - forging documents, stealing other documents, and looking for the truth. As a result, he ends up not having any reason to talk to any other characters.

But there's no shortage of clever banter and flinty charm because lawman Tommy Lee Jones is also running around Chicago looking for Harrison Ford, along with his misfit band of clever US Marshals.

Towards the very end of the movie they throw in a bunch of complicated extra stuff about an evil pharmaceutical company, but mostly it's a classic cat-and-mouse thriller.
