Meetings Go Hollywood
The Fugitive
Dr. Richard Kimble, a respected Chicago surgeon, is charged and convicted for the murder of his wife, a crime he says was committed by a one-armed man.
After a death-defying escape from prison, Kimble (Harrison Ford) returns to Chicago to find the one-armed man, Frederick Sykes (Andreas Katsulas), and prove his innocence. He discovers a shady connection between Sykes and a pharmaceutical company that has just developed a wonder drug called Provasic, which Kimble suspects causes liver disease.
Kimble’s search for the truth leads him to a hotel where the man who is really behind his wife’s murder is about to give the keynote address at a meeting of the pharmaceutical company.
Kimble gives new meaning to the idea of interactive meetings by crashing the gathering, walking up to the podium, challenging the speaker, and escorting him out of the ballroom, after which the two men go from point to point in the hotel, beating each other into bloody pulps in the process.
