The Fugitive's about endless entertainment and gutless character builders (8)
I believe the answer is:
refugees
'gutless character builders' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'the fugitive's about endless entertainment' is the wordplay.
'the fugitive' becomes 'refugee' (I've seen this before).
'about endless entertainment' becomes 's' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'refugee'+'s'='REFUGEES'
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for refugees that I've seen before include "They're forced to flee their country" , "Exiles who flee for safety" , "They leave their countries to escape danger" .)
