A Hometown Mystery.
Since the 1990s, Harrison Ford has become a familiar yet elusive figure in Wichita, KS, returning year after year.

A Personal Story.
I was born into a Wichita aviation family. But after my parents’ divorce, my mother moved me and my sister to North Carolina, leaving my father behind and Wichita as a city frozen in time.
As I grew up, I collected father figures from TV and film, but none of them compared to Harrison Ford. Adventurer. Hero. Aviator.So when I learned about Harrison Ford’s yearly visits to Wichita, I wanted to explore the city through his eyes. As I began filming, I realized this wasn’t really a movie about a movie star. It was about ordinary people, the stories we tell, the places we carry with us, and the strange ways we find our way home.- Graham High, Director/Producer, Harrison Ford Comes to Wichita
