04:17A real adventure, no more pretend.
04:21I found something buried in the woods.
04:25What do you think it is?
04:30I think it's a lost Jedi temple.
04:35Hello?
04:38Be careful where you step.
04:42We're lost. Really lost.
04:48It is dangerous out there in space.
04:52Trust no one.
05:12A real adventure, no more pretend.
05:17I found something buried in the woods.
05:19You're a Jedi.
05:35Okay, none of you are my child. Does anyone see Muri?
05:38Kid!
05:54We are fighting a war.
05:56It is dangerous out there in space.
06:00Trust no one.
06:09A real adventure, no more pretend.
06:14I found something buried in the woods.
06:17You're a Jedi.
06:39Chewie, we're home.
06:43This is Harrison Ford, the legendary everyman hero
06:48who's been a part of modern film history.
06:51He's Han Solo. He's Indiana Jones.
06:54He's maybe a replicant. Maybe not. Jury's still out.
06:58And more recently, he helped expand the Yellowstone franchise
07:01as Jacob Dutton in the Western series 1923.
07:06You attack my family. It's gonna be the last thing you ever do.
07:10When Harrison was in his mid-20s,
07:12he was introduced to the world as Bellhop Pager
07:16in the film Dead Heat on Amerigo Round.
07:19No, sir. Charles Ellis. Room 607.
07:22But most of his early career was spent on TV.
07:25He played his fair share of no-good, dirty bank-robbing cowpokes
07:29in The Virginian and Gunsmoke,
07:32but he also pulled off that suave Harrison Ford charm in the FBI
07:36and even played a hippie in Love, American Style.
07:39I dig you, too, man.
07:41Despite getting consistent acting work
07:43and landing the role of a drag racer
07:45in George Lucas's Oscar-nominated film American Graffiti...
07:49You're supposed to be the best thing in the valley, man,
07:51but that can't be your car. It must be your mama's car.
07:55...Harrison decided to pursue a career in carpentry
07:58to support his family, which gave him more freedom
08:01in choosing acting jobs.
08:03After Francis Ford Coppola hired Harrison to expand his office,
08:06he offered him supporting roles in The Conversation and Apocalypse Now.
08:10Meanwhile, he was brought in as a line reader
08:13during the casting process of a little space opera called Star Wars.
08:20But he impressed George Lucas enough
08:22to land the iconic role of the swashbuckling space smuggler Han Solo.
08:27Look, Your Worshipfulness, let's get one thing straight.
08:30I take orders from just one person, me.
08:33From that point on, he made the jump to hyperspace
08:36as a beloved leading man.
08:38He grabbed a fedora and a whip
08:40and became everyone's favorite professor of archaeology, Indiana Jones,
08:43in Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Temple of Doom,
08:46jettisoned back to space in Goth Girl and The Empire Strikes Back...
08:49I love you.
08:51...and he even had time to hunt down some rogue replicants
08:54in the landmark sci-fi noir Blade Runner.
08:58After a huge streak of blockbuster films,
09:01Harrison received an Oscar nomination when he played John Book,
09:05a detective putting together the pieces of a conspiracy
09:08while hiding in an Amish community in Witness.
09:11It's not our way.
09:13But it's my way.
09:15He's also cited his role as the disillusioned and arrogant inventor
09:19Ali Fox in The Mosquito Coast as one of his favorite roles.
09:23Why tell a man what he wants?
09:25Tell him what he doesn't need.
09:26Pretend he's got eight legs and two stomachs and money to burn.
09:28It's wrong.
09:29Wrong, wrong, wrong.
09:31Harrison continued to deliver countless standout roles
09:34in thrillers throughout the 80s and 90s.
09:37He played Jack Ryan in Patriot Games and Clear in Present Danger,
09:41a doctor falsely accused of murder in The Fugitive,
09:44and a president who has a strict policy
09:47when it comes to negotiating with terrorists in Air Force One.
09:51Get off my plane.
09:54From there, Harrison was the go-to leading man throughout Hollywood,
09:58whether it was in dramas, sci-fi...
