Synopsis!
"The Fugitive" is a 1993 American film based on the television series of the same name. The film was directed by Andrew Davis and stars Harrison Ford as Dr. Richard Kimble, and Tommy Lee Jones as Deputy United States Marshal Samuel Gerard. Jones won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance. The supporting cast includes Andreas Katsulas as a one-armed man, Sela Ward as Kimble's wife, Jeroen Krabbé (who replaced Richard Jordan), a then unknown Julianne Moore, and Joe Pantoliano. The film was one of the few movies associated with a television series to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture.

Plot!
Dr. Richard Kimble (Ford), a successful vascular surgeon in Chicago, comes home one night to find his wife Helen fatally wounded by a man with a prosthetic arm, and though he attempts to subdue the killer, the man escapes. The lack of evidence of a break-in, fingerprints being found on the gun and the bullets, and Helen's misunderstood 911 call lead the Chicago police to charge Kimble with murder, and he is sentenced to death by lethal injection.

On the way to death row via bus, the other prisoners attempt an escape, causing the bus to fall into the path of an oncoming train. Kimble barely escapes the bus' destruction and flees into the night. The United States Marshals arrive, led by Samuel Gerard (Jones), to locate and round up the escaped convicts while the injured are taken to a nearby hospital. Kimble sneaks into the hospital to replace his prison outfit, treats his wounds himself and escapes detection by an Illinois State Police trooper by posing as a doctor. While leaving the hospital, he is recognized by one of the injured guards, but quickly drives away in an ambulance. Gerard orders a blockade of a tunnel through a nearby dam to stop Kimble's escape, but Kimble abandons the vehicle and climbs into the sewer system in the dam though a storm drain. Kimble is eventually cornered by Gerard at the outlet of the dam spillway, but instead of being recaptured, Kimble dives over the edge, surviving the fall and swims away downstream, leaving no trail for the Marshals to follow.

Kimble receives a small amount of money from his friend and associate, Dr. Charles Nichols (Krabbé), requesting he not contact the police. He fakes an ID card to get into Cook County Hospital prosthetic department, posing as a janitor, to obtain a list of people who had their prosthetic arm repaired shortly after his wife's murder. After obtaining the list, he cannot help but to correct a mistaken diagnosis of a young boy on his way to surgery, saving the boy's life. The boy's doctor (Moore), however was suspicious of a janitor looking at the boy's x-rays and upon discovering that the boy did not show up where she told the janitor to send him, as Kimble had changed the doctor's orders and sent him into emergency surgery, she confronts him about it and then calls security. The Marshals arrive to investigate, and Gerard determines that Kimble must have been searching for information on the murder to risk being seen in the hospital, and orders his men to perform a similar search.
