Defense: “I didn’t kill my wife!”#N#There’s a very important rule when it comes to Harrison Ford movies: If it looks like he killed an innocent person (especially his wife), he did not kill that innocent person (especially his wife). The Fugitive, the suspenseful masterpiece adapted from the 1963 TV show, is the best example of that rule. Ford stars as Richard Kimble, a physician who has been framed for the brutal murder of his wife. She actually dies at the hand (s) of a one-armed man, killed as part of a pharmaceutical-company conspiracy. Kimble has to prove all of this while being aggressively hunted down by Tommy Lee Jones and the FBI. (They, for the record, don’t care .)

The disguise doesn’t work, and neither do his attempts to prove his innocence. But he and his new face end up in Paris with Lauren Bacall, so it’s all good anyway.
