Chicago Surgeon Richard Kimble is sentenced to death for the murder of his wife. He claims to be innocent and that his wife was killed by a man with a prosthetic arm, but the police is not able to find that man. A year later Kimble manages to escape during transport when other prisoners cause an accident leading to the bus being destroyed by an oncoming train. Kimble sneaks into a hospital, tends to his wound, shaves his beard, steal clothes and escapes in an ambulance. US Marshall Samuel Gerard chases Kimble into a tunnel from which Kimble escapes through the storm drain and despite being followed by Gerard, manages to disappear by jumping from a high spillway into the river. Kimble then returns to Chicago to find the one-armed man himself, getting money from his friend and colleague Charles Nichols. Posing as a janitor at the prosthetics' department of Cook County Hospital, he manages to make a short list of patients who could be his wife's killer. He however blows his cover when he is asked during a rush in E.R. to take a boy on a gurney to another floor but instead modifies the doctor's orders so that the boy would be operated on, saving his life. Gerard deduces what Kimble is doing and produces his own list of suspects. He spots his fugitive when interviewing a jailed suspect in Chicago City Hall, but loses him during the St. Patrick's Day parade. Later Kimble breaks into the home of his last suspect, Fredrick Sykes, a former cop, now chief of security for a pharmaceutical company. Kimble finds a link between this company and Lentz, the doctor who was in charge of testing a new drug, soon to get FDA agreement, that Kimble knew was causing liver damage. Kimble phones Gerard and leaves evidence in sight before leaving. He then visits a former colleague of his at the hospital. He learns that Lentz has died in a road accident six months earlier (presumably killed by Syskes because he too had found that the drug had side-effects). Kimble then gets proof that the liver samples used for the FDA agreement are fakes, and that Nichols, now a member of the board of the company, is the only person who could have replaced them. On his way to the cardiologists' conference where Nichols is going to announce the new drug, Kimble is attacked by Sykes on a train and a transit police officer is killed; Kimble is blamed and Chicago PD wants revenge. At the hotel, Kimble confronts Nichols, they fight and end up in the laundry, followed by Gerard and his men. Kimble saves the US Marshall's life when Nichols attempts to kill him. Gerard tells Kimble they have got Sykes and proof that Nichols helped the killer to stage the burglary of Kimble's home and to kill his wife.
