Critics Consensus

Exhilarating and intense, this high-impact chase thriller is a model of taut and efficient formula filmmaking, and it features Harrison Ford at his frantic best.

Call something a "real train wreck" and it's considered a put-down. Not in this fast-track, no-stops chase movie with a massive train-wreck scene that's going to have audiences scrambling for cover.

Working from a tight script by Jeb Stuart and David Twohy, director Andrew Davis has fashioned a crackling, intelligent thriller.

Leave it to a bona fide star like Harrison Ford and an emerging one then in Jones to put together one of the slickest cat and mouse movies of its era.

It’s the rare '90s TV-to-film adaptation that transcended its roots to become a beloved classic in its own right.

3.5/4

This contains enough suspenseful set-pieces, clever red herrings, and spectacular stuntwork to satisfy most thriller aficionados. Yet what really makes the movie work are the performances by the two leads.

The Fugitive is one of the greatest action-thrillers ever made. Harrison Ford delivers a compelling performance as Dr. Richard Kimble, a man wrongly convicted of murdering his wife who escapes custody to prove his innocence while being relentlessly pursued by U.S. Marshal Samuel Gerard, played brilliantly by Tommy Lee Jones.

I think Harrison Ford should have gotten more awards. How he acts makes his characters more realistic.
