U.S. Marshals

Two U.S. Diplomatic Security Service agents are killed while trying to intercept a briefcase exchange taking place in a parking garage. The murders are caught on a CCTV camera, but the criminal escapes with top secret information. Months later, tow truck driver Mark Warren (Wesley Snipes) is arrested for an illegal weapons possession charge following a vehicular collision in Chicago. Through a fingerprint check, the police determine that he is actually federal fugitive Mark Roberts, wanted for a homicide. Roberts boards a prisoner transport aircraft back to New York, sharing the flight with Deputy U.S. Marshal Samuel Gerard (Tommy Lee Jones), who is escorting prisoners unrelated to Roberts' case. Roberts thwarts an assassination attempt by a fellow Chinese prisoner with an improvised firearm, but the bullet pierces a window and de-pressurizes the cabin, forcing an emergency landing which leads to a crash in Kentucky. Gerard discovers Roberts has fled the crash site. Later, Special Agent John Royce (Robert Downey Jr.) is assigned to join Gerard's team to hunt Roberts. (Warner Bros. AU)
