Dr. Richard Kimble is wrongly convicted for the murder of his beloved wife. Kimble, determined to track down the real killer, escapes from custody following a train crash while being transported to death row. What follows is a game of cat-and-mouse -- for both the true murderer and the good doctor. But while Kimble searches for the real killer, the authorities -- notably Lt. Philip Gerard -- are on the hunt for him.

Linda Stasi New York Post How many doctors do you know who aren't able to beat up a one-armed man, but can jump from a moving train and catch onto the edge of the speeding box car holding on while the train goes through tunnels? I mean, really. Sep 19, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Susan S I loved every season. David Janssen was an awesome actor. This is a great show about a Dr. That was convicted to death for killing his wife which was not true. He saw a one armed man leaving his house when he found his wife dead. He was being taken to Prison by train whan the train ran off the tracks allowing him to escape. Awesome Show. Can be seen on a few Roku channels. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/04/23 Full Review Read all reviews
