    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      For shooting the scenes on the plane, director Stuart Baird and production designer Maher Ahmad looked at real prisoner transfer planes, but were disappointed to find that they looked just like regular planes. As such, they came up with the design of the plane seen in the film - the feet restraints, the cage door, the mechanical locking system, the open toilet, et cetera.
    • Goofs
      After the plane crashed upside down, the guns were removed from the gun rack right side up, (i.e. stock down). If the plane was upside down, the stock of the rifle would be upward.

      The later prints (notably on Blu-ray, HBO airings and digital platforms) had the 2003 Warner Bros. Pictures logo while retaining the 75th anniversary fanfare.

    pretty good followup

    Okay, so "U.S.Marshalls" is basically just a remake of "The Fugitive". As such, it received lukewarm to cool reviews when it was in the theaters, unjustifiedly so, I think. Although the plot line is a ripoff of the earlier movie, this one does well in keeping us in suspense as to the story behind the central character, and the action is exciting and well-paced. Tommy Lee Jones of course "makes" the film, accompanied by the same cast of deputies as in the earlier movie. There are even "toppers" for the bus crash/train wreck and famous swan dive from the earlier movie. This is a very good escapist action flick.

    FAQ25

    • How long is U.S. Marshals?Powered by Alexa
    • Has Tommy Lee Jones done any other action movies?
    • Are there any references to "The Fugitive" in this film?Jones' most iconic / classic scene in the Fugitive was the one where it was found that there was indeed a fugitive. He then takes over the investigation and instructs the police to establish a perimeter and to search every house, dog house, out house, etc. In this film there is a similar scene a less experienced officer is trying to decide how to do the search. But for a change-up and fan service, you can see Jones' politely biting his lip, trying to be nice and not interrupt the officer, the audience knowing he's champing at the bit to use the skills he displayed so well in the prior movie.
    • Hang on. Samuel Gerard chases an innocent man who escapes from custody due to a crash and sets about uncovering a conspiracy. Haven't we seen this already?
