Leonard Maltin/Plot synopsis: |
Slick, solid update of the 1960s TV series about a doctor wrongly convicted of murdering his wife; he takes it on the lam, with a dogged federal marshal (Jones, in an Oscar-winning performance) and his team on his trail. Great action and stunts, including an eye-popping bus crash/train wreck, but it's the cat-and-mouse game between two strong personalities--Ford and Jones--that makes this work. Scripted by Jeb Stuart and David Twohy from Twohy's story; based on coexecutive producer Roy Huggins' original TV premise. Followed by U. S. MARSHALS.
