Summary
Andrew Davis's action thriller, expanded from the 1960s television series, opens in Chicago, where vascular surgeon Richard Kimble returns home to find his wife murdered and a one-armed man fleeing the house. Convicted on circumstantial evidence and sentenced to death, Kimble escapes when the bus carrying him to prison is struck by a freight train. He goes back into the city to identify the killer and the reason for the murder, working through hospital records and prosthetics files using his own medical knowledge. Pursuing him is Deputy U.S. Marshal Samuel Gerard, a relentless federal manhunter who is explicit that his quarry's innocence is not his problem.

A second review pool sits behind it as well: 1 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately. 394 IMDb reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 402 reviewers with at least two reviews each feeds the raw-average track. 4,081 other films from the 1990s form the cohort it is ranked inside.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where The Fugitive lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against Films · 1990s (4,082 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 394.
