#DAB IMEME PIC MOVIE#

We don’t remember that his character named “James Marshall,” because we only think of the movie in one way: That great ‘90s movie where Harrison Ford kicks ass as the President of the United States. if there were one Harrison Ford movie you could show to people 100 years from now, or preserve for future space alien anthropologists, you wouldn’t pick Witness or Frantic.īut, arguably, instead of one of the Star Wars or Indiana Jones films, picking Air Force One as the greatest Harrison Ford movie ever makes perfect sense because it’s a movie that can only exist because of Harrison Ford’s inherent Harrison Fordness. To put it another way, one way to assess great Harrison Ford movies is only about the art itself, and the other way is golden record/time capsule logic I.E. You’re either saying the greatest Harrison Ford movie is a great movie and Harrison Ford happens to be in it or you're saying it’s the greatest Harrison Ford movie because it represents the totality of what Harrison Ford is known for in the zeitgeist. The greatest Harrison Ford movie of all time is debatable and that’s because there are basically two opposing criteria for great Harrison Ford movies. As it stands Air Force One - which hit theaters 25 years ago on July 25, 1997, and topped the box office in August of that year - is the greatest Harrison Ford action movie, specifically because Harrison Ford is simply playing himself.

If you don’t remember that Ford’s fictional US President in Air Force One was named President James Marshall, it’s probably only because “President Ford” would have sounded weird. Get off my plane! In 1997, America’s favorite dad-ish action hero, Harrison Ford, became the President of the United States.
