“Andrew Davis’ The Fugitive is one of the best entertainments of the year, a tense, taut and expert thriller that becomes something more than that, an allegory about an innocent man in a world prepared to crush him.” –Roger Ebert, rogerebert.com
Last year’s screening of The Fugitive was such a runaway hit, we’re making it a St. Patrick’s Day tradition! Be sure to catch Kimball, Gerard and the One-Armed Man as they barrel their way through the streets of Chicago Saturday, March 14 for another heart-pounding celebration of Chicago On Screen.
This iconic action film, directed by Chicago native Andrew Davis, is a pulse-pounding thriller and a stunning showcase of the Windy City. Starring Harrison Ford as the wrongly accused Dr. Richard Kimble and Tommy Lee Jones in his Oscar-winning role as U.S. Marshal Samuel Gerard, The Fugitive blends high-stakes action with sharp storytelling. Shot across Chicago’s iconic locations—from Daley Plaza to the CTA—the film transforms the city into a vibrant, integral character in its gripping narrative.
Whether you’re a Fugitive fan or new to its thrills, this event has something for everyone. Arrive early to grab a seat and enjoy the festivities!
