Where was The Fugitive filmed?

Just as Dr. Richard Kimble (Harrison Ford) is being escorted to a police car (for his wife's murder), there is a flashback scene from earlier in the night where Richard and his wife, Helen Kimble (Sela Ward), are attending a Children's Fundraiser. As Richard weaves through people, mingling and talking, he's trying to see his wife. He finally spots her chatting with two other gentlemen. As he notices her, Richard starts walking toward her while smiling. She also keeps peeping at him and smiles coyly. As he reaches her, Richard jokingly interrupts her conversation with the men, "Alright you guys, knock it off. There's nothing to see here," He points at Helen and says, "You, come with me." This filming location of The Fugitive is the stunning Four Seasons Hotel. The Four Seasons in Chicago is located on the Magnificent Mile at 120 East Delaware Place, North Michigan Avenue. Fans can book rooms while they enjoy the Chicago skyline, try the spa, and eat at the all-day dining restaurant. Getting here is quick if you hop onto bus number 147 and hop off at Michigan & Delaware/ Walton. The walk to the hotel is 2 minutes from this stop.

The train wreck is one of the best scenes in The Fugitive. After Kimble is convicted of murder and given a death sentence, he is transported by bus to Illinois State Penitentiary with other prisoners. While en route to the prison, the prisoners stage an escape, and one of the men starts foaming at the mouth. The other men yell at the guards, "Get in here, quick! He's getting sick! Move!" When the guard reaches the sick prisoner, a fight ensues, with a guard getting injured, while another prisoner shoots the bus driver with a loaded gun. During this commotion, the bus veers off the road, rolls down a cliff, lands on the train tracks, and gets hit by an oncoming train. Kimble manages to save the injured guard and escape. The train wreck was staged using a real bus and a locomotor at 973 Haywood Rd, Sylva in North Carolina. The remnants of the train crash scene are kept at the location as memorabilia for fans. Fans should park at the side of Haywood Rd in Sylva, close to the Jackson County Green Energy Park. From this point, if you look down, you can see the remnants of the wreck. Catch the US-74 W to Haywood Rd in Jackson County to get here.

Considering all The Fugitive action scenes, this one is slightly mellow. Dr. Kimble escapes the train and bus wreck and comes to the hospital where he works. Since he knows the way, he sneaks into a patient's room, avails himself of the first aid equipment, treats cuts and bruises from the wreck, and shaves his beard and hair, so he looks different. Kimble dons the clothes of another doctor, and as he's about to leave the hospital, he sees an emergency case come in. When Kimble considers the patient, he realizes it's the injured guard. The guard also recognizes Kimble, but Kimble quickly puts an oxygen mask on the guard and turns to the paramedic, asking, "How's he doing?" As the paramedics wheel the guard in, Kimble turns to them and says, "Tell the attending he's got a puncture in the upper gastric area." This scene was filmed at the UChicago Medicine Hospital at the University of Chicago. The location is 5841 South Maryland Ave in Chicago. The hospital is accessible if you hop onto bus number 55 and hop off at 55th St and Cottage Grove. The hospital is a 5-minute walk from this stop.

After Kimble escapes the hospital in an ambulance, U.S. Deputy Marshal Samuel Gerard (Tommy Lee Jones) and his team investigate and track Kimble down. They corner the ambulance via helicopter and cars till Kimble abandons the ambulance in a tunnel and gets into the storm drains to evade the police. Gerard and his team track Kimble down into the storm drains. Suddenly, Gerard slips and slides down the drain. His gun falls out of his hand. Kimble picks up the gun and points it at Gerard, saying, "I didn't kill my wife!" Gerard shakes his head and replies, "I don't care." Kimble realizes that Gerard is only there to capture him, so he runs off with Gerard's gun. Gerard pulls out another pistol from his holster and follows Kimble till they reach the mouth of a dam. Gerard points his pistol at Kimble and yells, "Put that gun down! Now!" Kimble drops the gun in the running storm water and raises his empty hands over his head. Instead of surrendering to Gerard, Kimble jumps into the water, escaping the police again. You can visit The Fugitive location at Cheoah Dam in North Carolina. Fans cannot enter the storm drains but can visit by following US-129 South to reach Cheoah Dam.

In this scene, Richard Kimble escapes Gerard and manages to find a phone booth. Richard calls his attorney, Walter Guthrie (Dick Cusack), and says, "Walter, this is Richard." Hearing Kimble's voice, Walter exclaims, "Jesus! Why did you run? Running only makes you look guilty!" Kimble replies, "I wasn't worried about appearances, Walter. I'm not gonna turn myself in. I need help, I need money." Walter responds, "Richard, you're asking me to the harbor and aid a convicted felon. I can't help you that way. My advice as your friend and attorney is to give yourself up. Where are you?" Kimble says, "St. Louis," and hangs up the phone. Kimble realizes Walter will be of no help and will not aid in getting justice nor offer money. Of all The Fugitive locations, this phone call scene is filmed at one of the most popular spots for locals. The Wells Street Bridge is an everyday site for Chicagoans and is most recognized as the phone booth, metro, and the surrounding area. It was completely rebuilt in 2012 – 2013. Getting here is also easy if you catch the Brown Line to Merchandise Mart and walk for a minute or two.

After Kimble leaves Gerard a trail of clues leading to Fredrick Sykes (Andreas Katsulas), Gerard further investigates and questions Dr. Charles Nichols (Jeroen Krabbe) about Kimble and Sykes at the site of the hotel conference launch for Provasic. Gerard believes there is a link between Kimble, Nichols, and Sykes. Gerard stops Nichols in the hallway by saying, "Dr. Nichols. Hi! How are you? Can we ask a few more questions?" and turns to his colleague, asking, "You got a copy of that photograph?" Nichols stops and waits. Gerard's colleague, Deputy Marshal Cosmo Renfro (Joe Pantoliano), shows Nichols a photograph and tells Nichols, "This is Frederick Sykes. He's a security specialist at Devlin MacGregor Pharmaceuticals. Richard Kimble broke into his apartment. Do you know this man?" Nichols replies, "No, I don't know him. You're getting pretty desperate, aren't you, Mr. Gerard? I told you; you wouldn't find Richard." The Fugitive filming location of this scene is the Hilton Chicago at 720 South Michigan Ave in Chicago. Fans of the film can book their stay, enjoy the excellent service, and even visit the same hallways where this scene was filmed. Getting to the hotel is quick via bus number 6.
