‘The Fugitive’ – Movie Buffs

Did Richard Kimble kill his wife? That’s the question The Fugitive seeks to answer, even though Detective Samuel Gerard (Tommy Lee Jones) “doesn’t care,” just as long as he catches the titular fugitive, played by Harrison Ford. On its 30th anniversary, Cisco and Shanny B talk about where The Fugitive ranks among other Chicago movies, how it influenced every “wrongfully accused thriller” for years after, and all of the grounded performances that made it a box-office hit and led Tommy Lee Jones to an Oscar.
