Storyline

A well respected Chicago surgeon Dr. Richard Kimble has found out that his wife, Helen, has been murdered ferociously in her own home. The police found Kimble and accused him of the murder. Then, Kimble (without Justifiable Reason) was tried, convicted, and sentenced to death. However, on the way to prison, Kimble's transport crashed. Kimble escapes and is now on the run. Deputy Samuel Gerard from Chicago takes charge of the chase of Kimble. Meanwhile, Kimble makes up his own investigation to find who really killed his wife, and to lure Gerard and his team into it as well. Written by John Wiggins

Trivia

Goofs

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): After Kimball jumps from the dam, Gerard demands that the police search downstream and upstream. Upstream makes no sense. See more »

Crazy Credits

In the opening credits, the lead actors' first names are shown in large
letters, then flip over to separately show their last names. "Harrison"
flips over to become "Ford", "Tommy Lee" flips over to becomes "Jones". See more »
