Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones made The Fugitive an iconic film back in 1993, earning an impressive seven Academy Award nominations, with Jones walking away with a statue for Best Supporting Actor. Twenty-seven years later, actors Kiefer Sutherland and Boyd Holbrook are starring in a new version of the franchise on the Quibi streaming platform.
While this interpretation of The Fugitive features an innocent man on the run, who’s trying to clear his name, there are some distinct differences from the Harrison Ford film. “The biggest thing that I liked,” Sutherland explained, “was that [The Fugitive] didn’t center around one crime and that it didn’t center around one murder. The scope of the crime was much larger and it involved a terrorist attack.”
For more on what Sutherland and Holbrook have to say about their respective roles in The Fugitive, IGN can exclusively reveal a never-before-seen featurette in the video below or at the top of the page:

Sutherland also jokes about collaborating with 24 director Stephen Hopkins once again. “He’s the only director where I’ve actually been doing a scene and he called out in the middle of the scenes, ‘you’re boring me.’ And it made me laugh while he said it.”
The Fugitive is currently airing on Quibi every weekday until August 18.
