Forget the fedoras and blaster pistols, because this Eighties classic deserves as much praise as Ford's famous franchises

projects that continue to define culture today. Indeed, Ford has spent the last eight years rehashing characters from those films, to mixed results. But there’s more to the actor than snarky lines and arguments over who shot first. Outside of his franchise hits, 1993’swhich turns 30 this week, stands out as a career highlight.

If you’re hazy on the details, well, so is Ford’s Dr. Richard Kimble, a surgeon who returns home to find his wife has been murdered. Kimble is promptly walloped around the head and loses consciousness. When he wakes up, it’s into a nightmare. He’s tried and convicted of his wife’s murder and, in a spectacular bus/train crash set piece, escapes to find the real killer, a mysterious one-armed man.

Jones is suitably menacing as the US Marshall tasked with bringing Kimble in. Like his best characters, his Marshall is a man with oceans moving beneath the surface. The story is as much about him as it is Kimble; he doesn’t care if Kimble is innocent, he just wants to bring him in. Later, that changes. The menswear is on point too: Jones’ Marshall jacket is peak ‘90s.
