Editing Harrison Ford (section)

=== 1998–2014 ===
In the late 1990s, Ford started appearing in several critically derided and commercially disappointing films that failed to match his earlier successes, including ''[[Six Days, Seven Nights]]'' (1998), ''[[Random Hearts]]'' (1999), ''[[K-19: The Widowmaker]]'' (2002), ''[[Hollywood Homicide]]'' (2003), ''[[Firewall (film)|Firewall]]'' (2006) and ''[[Extraordinary Measures (film)|Extraordinary Measures]]'' (2010). One exception was ''[[What Lies Beneath]]'' (2000), which grossed over $155{{nbsp}}million in the United States and $291{{nbsp}}million worldwide.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=whatliesbeneath.htm |title=What Lies Beneath (2000) |website=Box Office Mojo |access-date=February 18, 2012 |archive-date=March 5, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120305172403/http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=whatliesbeneath.htm |url-status=live }}</ref> Ford served as an executive producer on ''K-19: The Widowmaker'' and ''Extraordinary Measures'', both of which were based on true events.

In 2004, Ford declined a chance to star in the thriller ''[[Syriana]]'', later commenting that "I didn't feel strongly enough about the truth of the material and I think I made a mistake."<ref>{{cite web|access-date=May 23, 2008 |url=http://www.starpulse.com/news/index.php/2006/03/03/harrison_ford_regrets_passing_on_syriana |title=Harrison Ford Regrets Passing on 'Syriana' |publisher=Starpulse |date=March 3, 2006 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080531064559/http://www.starpulse.com/news/index.php/2006/03/03/harrison_ford_regrets_passing_on_syriana |archive-date=May 31, 2008}}</ref> The role went to [[George Clooney]], who won an Oscar and a Golden Globe for his work. Before that, Ford had passed on a role in another [[Stephen Gaghan]]-written film, that of Robert Wakefield in ''[[Traffic (2000 film)|Traffic]]'', which went to [[Michael Douglas]].

In 2008, Ford enjoyed success with the release of ''[[Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull]]'', the first Indiana Jones film in 19 years and another collaboration with Lucas and Spielberg. The film received generally positive reviews and was the second-highest-grossing film worldwide in 2008.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.boxofficemojo.com/yearly/chart/?view2=worldwide&yr=2008&p=.htm |title=2008 Worldwide Grosses |website=Rotten Tomatoes |access-date=August 7, 2009 |archive-date=August 9, 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090809102425/http://www.boxofficemojo.com/yearly/chart/?view2=worldwide&yr=2008&p=.htm |url-status=live }}</ref> Ford later said he would like to star in another sequel "if it didn't take another 20 years to digest."<ref>{{cite news|access-date=May 23, 2008 |url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/film/news/e3ied0764c52ea0c6b79e5a439cf257d65d |title=Can you dig it?

Ford's performance as [[Branch Rickey]] in the film ''[[42 (film)|42]]'' was praised by many critics and garnered Ford a nomination as best supporting actor for the [[Satellite Awards]].
