Last year’s screening of The Fugitive was such a runaway hit, we’re making it a St. Patrick’s Day tradition!
Host and Fugitive location manager Rich Moskal will share exclusive insider commentary on the making of this action classic with personal accounts of train wrecks, marching bands and leaps from a 225-foot dam.
Arrive early to mingle with members of the crew, enjoy a pint or a custom cocktail (the Trainwreck!) and celebrate what Chicagoans say is the best Chicago-made film of all time.
FILM SYNOPSIS
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.
