Harrison Ford opens up about his favorite movie line for real-life situations: 'Get off my plane!'

"Get off my plane!" which he said famously in 'Air Force One' acting as commander-in-chief is what he uses more often in his personal life, Ford told People. Ford being a pilot himself is the reason for its regular usage. "Because I fly, I probably say why more than I need to, 'Get off my plane!'" Ford told People.
'The kick-ass president'
