Hollywood icon Harrison Ford made his screen debut in 1966, and after appearing in a number of smaller roles, got his breakthrough as Han Solo in George Lucas’ 1977 film ‘Star Wars.’ The movie spawned one of the most successful franchises in history, with Harrison reprising his role for multiple projects. His stardom was also aided by playing the titular lead in the ‘Indiana Jones‘ film series, as well as Rick Deckard in the ‘Blade Runner‘ franchise. These roles, along with those in films like ‘Patriot Games’ and ‘Clear and Present Danger,’ solidified his place as an action hero in the industry. Over the decades, Harrison has starred in movies from a wide range of genres, including ‘The Mosquito Coast,’ ‘Working Girl,’ ‘Air Force One,’ ‘Cowboys & Aliens,’ ‘The Age of Adaline,’ and ‘Captain America: Brave New World.’ A licensed pilot and environmental activist, he has received numerous accolades over the years and has been honored with the AFI Life Achievement Award, Cecil B. DeMille Award, Honorary César, and Honorary Palme d’Or awards. If you wish to check out his works on Netflix, the following list is tailored for you.
