“When a bomb rips through the Los Angeles subway train he’s riding on, blue-collar Mike Ferro (Holbrook) just wants to make sure his wife, Allison, and 10-year-old daughter, Pearl, are safe. But the faulty evidence on the ground and “tweet-now, confirm-later” journalism paint a nightmarish picture: it looks to all the world that Mike was responsible for the heinous act. Wrongfully—and very publicly—accused, Mike must prove his innocence by uncovering the real perpetrator, before the legendary cop (Sutherland) heading the investigation can apprehend him.”
While the names are different, the overall premise is similar, though modernized a bit. Social media didn’t exist at the time that Harrison Ford (who played Holbrook’s character) and Tommy Lee Jones (who played the Sutherland role) played these characters, so it makes sense that technology is going to play a part in Ferro’s quest to clear his name.
Warner Bros. Television is producing the series alongside Thunder Road Films and 3 Arts Entertainment, while nick Santora will be writing and executive producing alongside Hopkins, Basil Iwanyk, Tom Lassally, and Albert Torres.
The Fugitive film was based on The Fugitive series from 1963, and did quite well at the box office. The film brought in over $368 million and is one of many box office hits on Ford and Tommy Lee Jones’ resume.
