It’s been lampooned mercilessly since its release in 1993, but The Fugitive remains a classic of the action genre, with some classic truly scenes that rank high in the pantheon of cinema greatness. Based on the classic TV series of the same name, The Fugitive tells the story of Dr. Richard Kimble (Harrison Ford) whom is wrongly convicted of the murder of his wife. En route to prison, Kimble escapes and has to evade the dogged pursuit of Deputy Marshal Sam Gerrard (Tommy Lee Jones). It’s a difficult slog to continue to evade the authorities, but to prove his innocence he’ll have to do more than just run.

Whilst it’s not the kind of film that has unlimited replay value, at its current bargain basement retail price (barely more than the cost of a rental) it’s worth considering adding The Fugitive to your expanding classic Blu-ray collection. Unfortunately, this release is not without its caveats which we’ll discuss now.
