Harrison Ford was greeted by hundreds of screaming fans at the Australian premiere of the thriller "Firewall."

Accompanied by his girlfriend, former "Ally McBeal" star Calista Flockhart, Ford told reporters on Sunday that 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," the 63-year-old actor said.

In "Firewall," Ford plays Jack Stanfield, a computer-security expert forced to help carry out a $100 million cyber bank job after a crook takes his family hostage.

Asked why he was 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."

While in Sydney, Ford and Flockhart also visited Taronga Park Zoo.
