Plot: Dr. Richard Kimble (Ford), a respected vascular surgeon in Chicago, comes home one night to find his wife, Helen (Sela Ward), fatally wounded by an intruder, a one-armed man. Kimble fights with the killer, but the man escapes. All the circumstantial evidence suggests Kimble is guilty of the crime: there is no evidence of a break in, his fingerprints are on the gun, he is the beneficiary of Helen's lucrative life insurance and her misunderstood 9-1-1 call appears to name him as her killer. Kimble is convicted of first-degree murder, for which he is sentenced to death. On his way to death row, several prisoners attempt an escape. In the struggle which follows, their bus crashes off the road and into the path of an oncoming train. Kimble barely escapes the bus's destruction and flees into the night. A group of US Marshals arrive, led by Deputy Samuel Gerard (Jones), to take charge of the hunt for the fugitives while the injured are taken to a nearby hospital. Kimble sneaks into the same hospital to treat his wounds and change his appearance. While leaving the hospital, he is recognized by the injured guard, but escapes in an ambulance. Gerard and his team blockade a tunnel through a nearby dam to stop Kimble's escape, but Kimble abandons the vehicle and climbs into the storm water system. Kimble is eventually cornered by Gerard above the outlet of the dam spillway. Kimble dives over the edge and swims downstream. Most of the search parties give up Kimble for dead, but Gerard persists and is proven correct when a tapped phone call to his lawyer puts him back on Kimble's trail.

Kimble returns to Chicago to find the murderer and receives some money from his friend, a fellow physician named Dr. Charles Nichols. Posing as a janitor, Kimble enters Cook County Hospital's prosthetic department to obtain a list of people who had their prosthetic arm repaired shortly after his wife's murder. Gerard realizes that Kimble must be looking for the one-armed man and begins a similar search to anticipate Kimble's next move. While at the hospital, Kimble notices a critically ill boy who is being misdiagnosed by the junior doctors in the emergency room, and sends him into emergency surgery, which saves his life. When later confronted about it by a doctor (Julianne Moore), he flees as she calls security. Kimble goes to the Cook County Jail to meet a one-armed man accused of armed robbery, but sees he is not the murderer. Gerard and his team also go to the jail with the same suspicion, and Gerard spots Kimble as he is leaving. A chase ensues, in which Gerard fires several shots at Kimble which are stopped by bulletproof glass. Gerard chases Kimble into Chicago's St. Patrick's Day parade where Kimble barely escapes. He then visits the home of the next person on the list, a former police officer named Frederick Sykes. Kimble confirms the man is the murderer and finds he is employed by a pharmaceutical company that is working on a new drug called Provasic.
