Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny

The fifth Indiana Jones movie marks Harrison Ford’s final appearance as the iconic archaeologist with the whip and fedora.

Titled “Dial of Destiny,” the film unfolds in two time periods. In 1944, Indy and archaeologist colleague Basil Shaw, played by Toby Jones, retrieve a Nazi-stolen artifact, the time-traveling device known as the Archimedes Dial, from scientist Jürgen Voller, portrayed by Mads Mikkelsen. In 1969, Voller, now working for NASA, seeks the dial again. Jones teams up with Shaw’s daughter, Helena, played by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, to put an end to Voller’s plans once and for all.
