Harrison Ford's only Oscar nomination came from 1985's "Witness," a thriller about a detective named John Book who was forced into a rural community to protect the sole witness to a murder. The film, which was directed by Oscar-winning director Peter Weir and stars Kelly McGillis and Danny Glover, is now available to stream on Paramount+. Despite being known for his iconic roles in iconic films like Han Solo and Indiana Jones, Ford's performance in "Witness" earned him an Oscar nomination for Best Actor in a Leading Role in 1986. The movie's script was initially rejected by multiple major studios and eventually became a classic.
