Magnolia Service Station was fully restored and included in the U.S. However, there is still a bar that is still in operation. Today fewer than 10 people live here, so many consider it a ghost town. Many of its residents were from Texas and Oklahoma, so its name came from a mix between Texas and Oklahoma. Texola is the last town in Oklahoma before you reach Texas (or the first, it depends on where you come from). You can also see the ruins of Kobel’s Gas Station. In Foss, you can see a prison built in 1918, which looks like a box made of steel bars. Such as the remains of a post office, a water tank, and an original stretch, one of the longest on Route 66.įoss is practically a ghost town, although there are still some houses that appear to be inhabited.

I would have been happy if Harrison Ford, as well as Jones, earned an Oscar for his earnest and highly physical performance. As absorbing as any action drama of the '90s.
The battle between the pursued and the pursuer is the dominant theme and it is carried off with great wit and style. While you're rooting for Ford all the way, as the doctor wrongly accused of the murder of his wife, you sometimes find yourself in the shoes of the crafty, quirky detective with a sense of humor (Tommy Lee Jones) who is relentless in his pursuit. The bus/train crash at the start is a spectacular piece of filmmaking that gets the story off to a good start with powerful urgency. The picture scores on all levels: photography, music, editing, script and performances. Exceptionally fine performances by Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones are the icing on the cake. Not all films taken from TV series manage to make it to the big screen with a style of their own and a story worth telling. For a good "chase" film, you can't beat 'The Fugitive'.
