Harrison Ford is a portrait of rugged individualism



By Anthony Breznican, USA TODAY


SANTA MONICA, Calif. — Indiana Jones always finds what he's looking for in isolated, faraway places. The same could be said of Harrison Ford.

The leading man of Star Wars, The Fugitive, Witness and Air Force One— and of course Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, coming May 22 — is happiest in the private 800-acre woodlands around his Wyoming home or soaring over the American landscape in one of his many private aircraft.

Many of the plotlines of Crystal Skull are still secret, but Ford says the movie will try to give new perspectives on his globe-trotting, fist-fighting archaeologist. Jones happens to be among Ford's favorite characters, and he has put his own curmudgeonly rogue qualities into him.

"He's a guy who is pretty clear from the beginning," Ford says. "He has not changed so much between films. But we've learned more about him, through various plot devices, such as the introduction of his father. And we'll learn something more about him in this film. I think it's required. If you're going to bring back a character, you'll have to supply the audience with something more and different.

"The adventure is very, very important. But it's interesting to discover a facet of the character that perhaps you hadn't explored before."
