What Does ‘The Fugitive’ Get Wrong About Chicago? Nothing.

View all City Cast Chicago episodes

In City Cast Chicago’s occasional series, “Re: VIEWS” we invite guests to re-watch a Chicago film and dissect elements like “Best line” or “Best shot of the city.” Host Jacoby Cochran talks about the classic 1993 movie “The Fugitive” with one of its super fans — journalist and author Natalie Moore — about why she watches it any time it’s on TV and how it creates a full picture of the city.


Some good news: Check out the CSO's "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone in Concert"
