From Amazon.co.uk
Do you know anyone who hasn't seen this movie? A box-office smash when released in 1993, this spectacular update of the popular 1960s TV series stars Harrison Ford as a surgeon wrongly accused of the murder of his wife. He escapes from a prison transport bus (in one of the most spectacular stunt-action sequences ever filmed) and embarks on a frantic quest for the true killer's identity, while a tenacious U.S. marshal (Tommy Lee Jones, in an Oscar-winning role) remains hot on his trail. Director Andrew Davis hit the big time with this expert display of polished style and escalating suspense, but it's the antagonistic chemistry between Jones and Ford that keeps this thriller cooking to the very end. In roles that seem custom-fit to their screen personas, the two stars maintain a sharply human focus to the grand-scale manhunt, and the intelligent screenplay never resorts to convenient escapes or narrative shortcuts. Equally effective as a thriller and a character study, The Fugitive is a Hollywood blockbuster that truly deserves its ongoing popularity. --Jeff Shannon

Amazon.com essential video
This highly entertaining update of the 1960s television series stars Harrison Ford as Dr. Richard Kimble, a man wrongly convicted of the murder of his wife, and Tommy Lee Jones as the federal marshal who pursues him after Kimble escapes during a train wreck. Director Andrew Davis (Under Siege) oversees some dazzling stunts and effects: the train accident alone makes the film worth seeing. But the real draw is the film's complement of strong personalities in Ford and Jones, each playing intrepid characters out to get their man. This is one of those rare films where everything completely clicks. The DVD release includes optional full-screen and widescreen presentations, cast bios, Dolby sound, optional French soundtrack, and optional French, Spanish, or English subtitles. --Tom Keogh

Chronique amazon.fr
En rentrant chez lui après une soirée, le chirurgien Richard Kimble découvre sa femme mortellement blessée. L'agresseur, un manchot, est encore sur les lieux. Richard et lui se battent, et l'homme s'enfuit. Tous les soupçons se portent sur Kimble. Les premières minutes du film sont saisissantes, et l'on est pris dans le tourbillon d'action qui suit, sans jamais se relâcher un instant. Le réalisateur, Andrew Davis, parvient ici à parfaitement doser scènes-choc et psychologie. À ce titre, les progressions parallèles du flic et du prétendu criminel, jusqu'à leur rencontre finale, sont parfaitement rendues, et menées haut la main par les interprètes. Andrew Davis sort habilement, par la mise en scène, du schéma traditionnel du polar américain, souvent trop conventionnel, et cela dès les premières images. Un grand moment de tension pour les amateurs du genre.--Louis Roux
