THE FUGITIVE - when friends turn out to be your enemies!


This is an old classic movie with Harrison Ford playing the main role of a doctor/researcher who finds his wife dead after returning from work one evening and is accused of killing her. Harrison escapes and is on the run for most of the movie. As he enters his home, just before discovering his wife's body, he accosts a stranger who is the real killer and who manages to escape.  Harrison has no alibi. He tries to track down that man he confronted in his home while the police are tracking him. He needs money while he is in hiding and his friend, whom Harrison trusts implicitly, loans him some money when they meet in a downtown area.

It is a cat and mouse game after that! Harrison finds in the end that his best friend is claiming credit for the research Harrison had done and that is why he had killed his wife!! It is the same deceiving friend who had loaned him money in the shopping area.

The police get tired of chasing Harrison and capture him and then release him in the end because he is innocent! It is a fast paced movie where all the main actors excel!

Note: I use the name Harrison to represent the character Harrison Ford plays in the movie.
