| Harrison Ford and fiancee Calista Flockhart pose in Sydney at the premiere of Firewall. |
Hollywood star Harrison Ford might be getting on in years, but he still has oodles of appeal.
Hundreds of screaming fans greeted the 63-year-old sex symbol at the Australian premiere of his latest blockbuster, Firewall, in Sydney last night.
Ford and his fiancee of four years, former Ally McBeal star Calista Flockhart, 41, dazzled the crowd at Bondi Junction.
Ford said he was happy to be back in Australia for the first time in 12 years.
"It's been a while. It's good to be back," he said.
Flockhart said the star couple and her adopted five-year-old son Liam spent much of the day at Taronga Park Zoo. "We had a little walk around," she said. "We went to the zoo and it was wonderful."
The trio arrived in Australia yesterday aboard a private jet.
In Firewall, a crime thriller, Ford plays Jack Stanfield -- a husband, father and head of security for a global bank who is forced to hack into the business to pay a $135 million ransom to free his kidnapped family.
Asked why he had been attracted to the role, Ford said: "I like to play a real person who has a real life and family.
"I just thought it would be a good movie for an audience to enjoy."
Ford has at least three new projects on the horizon -- the sci-fi thriller Godspeed, Manhunt, about US president Abraham Lincoln's assassin, and Indiana Jones 4.

好萊塢明星哈裡森·福特也許有些老了，但是他的魅力仍不減當年。
昨天晚上，這位63歲的性感影星出席了他的最新力作《防火牆》的雪梨首映式，數百名粉絲為他尖叫歡呼。
在雪梨的邦迪中心，福特和未婚妻卡利斯塔·弗洛克哈特的出現令人群一時間不知所措。41歲的弗洛克哈特曾出演過影集《艾莉的異想世界》（又名《甜心俏佳人》）的女主角。她和福特訂婚已經四年了。
福特說他很高興12年後第一次回到澳大利亞。
他說："我已經很久沒到澳大利亞來了， 但是回來的感覺真不錯！"
弗洛克哈特說，他們和5歲的養子廉門在塔朗加動物園玩了大半天。她說："我們在附近散了散步，去了動物園，那真是太棒了！"
福特一家三人是昨天乘坐私人飛機抵達澳大利亞的。
電影《防火牆》是一部犯罪驚悚片，福特在片中扮演的傑克·斯坦菲爾德是一個丈夫，一個父親，同時還是一個世界性銀行的網絡安全專家。電影裡，傑克的家人遭綁架，為了支付1.35億美金的贖金，他被迫答應攻破銀行的網絡安全系統。
當被問到他為什麼會被這個角色所吸引的時候，福特說道："我喜歡扮演這種擁有真實生活和家庭的真實人物。"
"我只是覺得這會是一部觀眾喜歡的好電影。"
福特目前手頭上至少有三部新片--一部是科幻驚悚片 《成功祝福》，一部是關於美國總統林肯遇刺的電影《追捕》，另外一部是《印第安娜·瓊斯4》（又名《奪寶奇兵4》）。
