The Big Picture Harrison Ford and Robert De Niro are two of the most accomplished actors of all-time. Ford is the ultimate hero, due to his roles as Han Solo, Indiana Jones, and Jack Ryan. De Niro has often played darker characters in movies like Taxi Driver, The Godfather Part II, and Goodfellas. Even in a comedy like Meet the Parents, De Niro is undeniably terrifying.

Release Date November 15, 1991 Director Martin Scorsese Cast Robert De Niro , Nick Nolte , Jessica Lange , Juliette Lewis Runtime 128 minutes Main Genre Thriller Harrison Ford Is the Best "Good Guy" in Movie History With a career that has been around since the 1960s, Harrison Ford is one of the biggest box office draws of all-time, with his films making more than $6.2 billion worldwide.

Harrison Ford Wanted Robert De Niro's Role in 'Cape Fear' Close 1962's Cape Fear is one of the best psychological thrillers ever made. The film follows a man named Max Cady – played in the original by Robert Mitchum – a malevolent man now out of prison where he was serving time for rape. Cady is, however, not a reformed man, as he's seeking revenge against the lawyer, Sam Bowden , who put him away.

"The only time came up was when Martin Scorsese was doing Cape Fear. He asked Bob De Niro to ask me to play the lawyer, and I told De Niro that the only way I would be interested in doing that film would be if he played the lawyer and I played his role. Of course, he didn’t want to give up his part.”
