Harrison Ford's The Fugitive, a remake of the 1960s TV series, debuted in theaters 33 years ago today, becoming a massive critical and box-office success. Directed by Andrew Davis, it follows wrongfully accused Dr. Richard Kimble after his escape from prison. Earning $368.9 million on a $44 million budget, it received seven Oscar nominations, with Tommy Lee Jones winning Best Supporting Actor. The film is considered a 1990s classic, spawning a 1998 sequel, U.S. Marshals, starring Tommy Lee Jones without Ford, which received poor reviews and significantly less box-office success.
