Continuing his collaboration with Lucasfilm, Ford was picked to lead Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark and has since starred in four more movies as Indy, the charming professor of archaeology. The early 1980s also saw him transported to a dystopian future in Blade Runner where he portrayed Rick Deckard, another icon of the era. He would reprise his role in the 2017 movie Blade Runner 2049.
Outside of the huge iconic roles, Ford took on a host of different parts including as a detective in Witness, which earned him his only Academy Award nomination.
