Ford in Focus: THE FUGITIVE (1993) - Movie Review

Ian and David are on the hunt for the perfect thrilling summer blockbuster--and have traveled all the way back to 1993's THE FUGITIVE!
In Andrew Davis' Academy Award-nominated adaptation of the 1960s TV show, Harrison Ford stars as Dr. Richard Kimble--a famous surgeon wrongfully accused of killing his wife (Sela Ward). Set free by a catastrophic accident during his prison transport, Kimble sets out to clear his name by finding the mysterious one-armed man who actually committed the murder. He's beset by a team of U.S. Marshals, led by the dogged and calculating Sam Gerard (Tommy Lee Jones), whose pursuit of his prey knows no compromise.
In this loving and spoilerific look-back, the guys praise THE FUGITIVE for being the kind of serious (and seriously exciting) big-budget entertainment Hollywood refuses to make anymore; puzzle over the movie's wild "Illinois" geography; and plow through the film's numerous "errors".
PLUS: Ian evades capture by changing his appearance live on camera!
