The Fugitive

(1993; screens Sunday at 10 p.m.)

In this version of the '60s TV show, Harrison Ford is a likable Everyman as Richard Kimble (still trying to clear himself of his wife's murder) and Tommy Lee Jones makes a worthy opponent as the US marshal obsessed with bagging him. This is an action film that has both head and heart; if it's short on psychological underpinning, it boasts a surplus of intelligent visual verve.
