Deputy Marshal Samuel Gerard: Alright, listen up, people. Our fugitive has been on the run for ninety minutes. Average foot speed over uneven ground barring injuries is 4 miles-per-hour. That gives us a radius of six miles. What I want from each and every one of you is a hard-target search of every gas station, residence, warehouse, farmhouse, henhouse, outhouse and doghouse in that area. Checkpoints go up at fifteen miles. Your fugitive's name is Dr. Richard Kimble. Go get him.

In September 1967 Dr. Richard Kimble found his wife murdered my a one- armed man who escaped. Kimble was found guilty of the murder and sentenced to die. But as police Lt. Philip Gerard was taking him to prison, the train they were riding in derailed and Kimble was able to escape. For three years Kimble tracked the one-armed man and Gerard tracked Kimble. Or at least that was the premise of the television series THE FUGITIVE. that starred David Janssen and Barry Morse. THE FUGITIVE is also the name of a fast- paced new film very loosely based on the twenty-six-year-old television series. In fact, the film version owes as much or more to Alfred Hitchcock thrillers such as THE 39 STEPS, THE SABOTEUR, and NORTH BY NORTHWEST as it does to the old Quinn-Martin series. That series, itself intended as a variation on Victor Hugo's LES MISERABLES, had a leisurely pace which is just not the style of this tight and tense 127-minutes film. There is very little of the "nice guy mixing in people's lives" premise of the television series in the new film. The series was light on the murder aspect and the film has more motivation behind the murder than three years of the television show had.
