10 More Times The Movie Killer Was Hiding In Plain Sight

Next on our countdown comes the nineties action thriller The Fugitive, a film with a murder-mystery at the core and few clues, save for one MASSIVE tell-tale, to be revealed shortly.

Dr. Richard Kimble (Harrison Ford) can only prove his innocence in a crime by tracking down his wife's killer, the 'one-armed-man,' Sykes. Although Sykes does the actual murdering, the search for the one armed man is misdirection - Dr. Charles Nichols is the brains behind the trigger.

Firstly, it can't be Kimble, it's all too perfect: even though his wife's 911 call fingers him for the killing, he's no murderer, not in this film anyway (read on to see Ford turning to the dark side).

Nichols, however, is a scheming, greedy and thoroughly EVIL scientist attempting to falsify research results so he can profit from the drug Provasic, Kimble's research project. Sometimes clues come in dribs and drabs but not in The Fugitive, we are given the main clue right from the start, so did you spot it?

During the fundraiser at the beginning of the film, Nichols thanks Kimble for the use of his car - "the keys are downstairs" says Nichols. This is how the killer gains entry to Kimble's house and makes the break-in appear unforced. Kimble decides to trace the identity of the one-armed man and eventually links Nichols to Sykes with a fishing photo, however, that one incident at the fundraiser is the key to the entire mystery, all in the first few minutes of the film.
