The Fugitives

As a 'Comedy, Crime, Drama', 'The Fugitives' primarily elicits Humor due to the absurd premise of an ex-con being taken hostage by a clumsy robber and subsequently mistaken for a criminal mastermind. This comedic core is supported by strong feelings of Joy and Happiness as the audience follows the duo's misadventures. Empathy is high for Lucas, the protagonist trying to go straight, and even for the bumbling robber, creating a sympathetic bond. Anxiety is present from the crime elements, such as the bank robbery and the constant threat of capture, leading to moments of Relief when the characters narrowly escape. Underlying dramatic tones contribute to a sense of Sadness and Melancholy regarding Lucas's past struggles and the general unfairness of his situation.
