The Fugitive
He has lost everything but hope.
Created by Roy Huggins
On ABC
A sustained, morally grounded pursuit narrative where an innocent man's search for redemption is shadowed by constant danger and the relentless pursuit of a sympathetic antagonist.
Richard Kimble is falsely convicted of his wife's murder and given the death penalty. En route to death row, Kimble's train derails and crashes, allowing him to escape and begin a cross-country search for the real killer, a "one-armed man". At the same time, Dr. Kimble is hounded by the authorities, most notably dogged by Police Lieutenant Philip Gerard.
