Synopsis: Based upon the Quinn Martin TV series around the 60's/70's which itself was very sucessful. The premise is that Dr Richard Kimble (Harrison Ford) has been wrongly accused of murdering his wife. he claims a one armed man killed her. He is sentanced and goes to jail via a prison bus. However, enroute the bus crashes and Kimble escapes and begins his pursuit of the one armed killer. He is pursued by US Marshall Sam Gerard (Tommy Lee jones) whos only goal is to capture Kimble. It is a great roller coaster of a ride with some great action and wonderful cinematography and is well held together vby its superb cast. |

Misc. Notes: This is MUCH better than its sequal 'US Marshalls', which, though good, was realkly just trying to cash in on the originals success. |
