The article is a special STATus report in the Oscar season. He describes how the STAT newsroom would cover the drug scandal from the movie "The Fugitive" if it were real. The film involves a pharmaceutical company embroiled in a drug scandal where the killer of Dr. Richard Kimball's wife is given an alibi by 15 people, presumably doctors and company executives. These people covered him for the murder, including bribing doctors for vacations to get the drug approved. The scandal concerns the falsification of data on the safety of the drug Provasic. The conspiracy involves colleague Kimball and others to ensure the drug's approval despite the risks. The entire story is a hypothetical journalistic analysis of the film.[1][2][3][5]
