Warning: Major spoilers for The Madness below!The Madness feels like a modern take on Harrison Ford's The Fugitive - but it's missing a key piece of spice that made the latter so great. The Madness cast Colman Domingo as Muncie Daniels, a media pundit who is framed for the murder of a white supremacist and forced to go on the run. The series has a lot on its mind about the present state of politics and race relations in the U.S., but the engine that drives the story is very similar to The Fugitive. 5f2j3q

Robert Downey Jr's U.S. Marshals is a follow-up to a classic Harrison Ford thriller, but he truly detested working on it. Robert Downey Jr's talent was obvious from an early stage, be it for his harrowing turn in 1987's Less Than Zero or his Academy Award-nominated work in Chaplin. Unfortunately, addiction issues began to overshadow his work in the late 1990s. Downey Jr staged the ultimate acting comeback during the 2000s, fronting a range of great movies like Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang and the original Iron Man.

The Fugitive is technically a fictional story – both the classic TV series and its blockbuster movie adaptation – but it’s widely believed to have been inspired by a fascinating true crime story. Both the TV and movie versions of The Fugitive revolve around Dr. Richard Kimble’s attempts to evade the law and clear his name after being falsely convicted of murdering his wife. The TV show had one of the most-watched series finales of all time because it was one of the earliest shows that promised to answer a long-standing mystery in its final episode.

Adapted from the popular 1960s television show of the same name, The Fugitive stars Harrison Ford as Dr. Richard Kimble, a surgeon on the run after being falsely convicted of his wife's murder. His motivation in the story is not just to prove his innocence but to find her true killer, and he eventually leads the police to the conspirators involved.
