On the December 28, 2023 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editor Ben Pearson is joined by /Film editor Jacob Hall and editor and chief film critic Chris Evangelista to talk about the 1993 action movie The Fugitive.

Opening Banter: 

In Our Feature Presentation: An Appreciation of Andrew Davis’ The Fugitive

• General thoughts?
• Harrison Ford - where does this rank for you as a Ford movie?
• Tommy Lee Jones
• The Fugitive was nominated for Best Picture, but Jurassic Park was not.
• The Fugitive Was The Rare Action Movie To Get Nominated For Best Picture – And It Deserved It

Take a break

• Do you think of The Fugitive as an action movie?
• Original script: Twist revealed in which Gerard had hired the one-armed man to kill Kimble after Kimble had screwed up an operation on Gerard’s wife. Also a romantic subplot with Julianne Moore’s character, but they rightly took a step back and remembered Kimble is supposed to be in mourning for his wife, so they cut that part out.
• Are there any lessons modern Hollywood can take from The Fugitive, or was that such a different era that the parallels are meaningless?
• Thoughts on U.S. Marshals?
• The Fugitive Director Andrew Davis Reflects On Directing One Of The Best Films Of The 1990s [Exclusive Interview]
