The Chase is a 1991 American crime drama television film directed by Paul Wendkos, written by Guerdon Trueblood, and starring Casey Siemaszko and Ben Johnson.
It is based on the true story of American criminal Phillip Hutchinson, who robbed a bank, killed a police officer, and took a man hostage in a 1988 rampage in Denver, Colorado.
Meanwhile, escaped convict Phillip Hutchinson, under the alias of Mark Taylor, has fled from Texas to reside in Denver, where he works as a car mechanic.
While working in Denver, Hutchinson carries out various crimes, including the armed robbery of a local store and the mugging of a courier delivering some money, whom he beats up with a crowbar.
Meanwhile, teenage girl Tammie, who works as a bank teller at the Rio Grande Operating Credit Union office, confides to a coworker that she is insecure about her appearance and lacks self-confidence.
A month later, on February 9, 1988, Wallis is now a grandfather and plans to retire, Tammie still works at the Union office, and Whipple reconnects with her estranged father.
