Icons Unearthed: Harrison Ford

Harrison Ford scores a hit as part of the Star Wars ensemble, but many question whether he has leading man potential.

After a string of hits with Lucasfilm, Harrison cuts and runs to work with Ridley Scott on Blade Runner, where on-set clashes and chaos create a production in peril.

Harrison dons the fedora for another Indy movie, but George Lucas's failed marriage might spell doom for the script; Sean Connery joins the franchise in the third instalment, but there might not be enough screen for two leading men.

Harrison Ford insists on his choice of director for the 1992 film Patriot Games, but his taking control sparks tension.

Harrison's role as a doctor on the run in The Fugitive is mirrored behind the scenes with a runaway production marred by gruelling shoots, crew firings, an elusive third act and a star in need of real medical attention.

Harrison Ford reaches new heights in Air Force One, an aircraft so secretive it takes intel from a sitting US President to help make the film. However, another film threatens a problem that may keep Air Force One from an on-time departure.
