Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny#Critical response

Toward the end of World War II, Nazis capture Indiana Jones and Oxford archaeologist Basil Shaw as they attempt to retrieve the Lance of Longinus from a castle in the French Alps. Astrophysicist Jürgen Voller informs his superiors the Lance is fake, but he has found half of Archimedes' Dial, an Antikythera mechanism built by the ancient Syracusan mathematician Archimedes which reveals time fissures, thereby allowing for possible time travel. Jones escapes onto a Berlin-bound train filled with looted antiquities and frees Basil. He obtains the Dial piece, and the two escape just before Allied forces derail the train.

In 1969, Jones, who is retiring from Hunter College in New York City, has been separated from his wife Marion Ravenwood since their son Mutt's death in the Vietnam War. Jones' goddaughter, archaeologist Helena Shaw, unexpectedly visits and wants to research the Dial. Jones warns that her late father, Basil, became obsessed with studying the Dial before relinquishing it to Jones to destroy, which he never did.

As Jones and Helena retrieve the Dial half from the college archives, Voller's accomplices attack them. The CIA assists Voller, now working for NASA as "Dr. Schmidt". Helena, revealed as an antiquities smuggler, absconds with the Dial to auction it on the black market. Jones is framed for two colleagues' murders, forcing him to escape through the Apollo 11 moon landing parade, then an anti-war protest.

Jones seeks out his old friend Sallah, now a New York cab driver, who helps him flee the country after surmising that Helena will likely sell the Dial in Tangier. In Tangier, Jones disrupts Helena's illegal private auction, but Voller and his henchmen arrive and steal the artifact. Jones, Helena, and her teenage accomplice Teddy Kumar chase them through the streets in a tuk-tuk. The CIA intercepts Voller after the U.S. government disavows him for going rogue, but he and his cohorts murder the agents and steal the CIA's helicopter.

Jones, Helena and Teddy trail Voller to Greece and team up with Jones' old friend Renaldo, a professional diver. Guided by Basil's research, they dive to the Antikythera wreck and retrieve a "graphikos" tablet containing directions to the Dial's other half. Voller arrives and murders Renaldo and his crew, but Jones' group escapes and heads to Sicily, pursued by Voller.

Inside the Ear of Dionysius cavern, Jones and Helena find Archimedes' tomb, the Dial's second half, and a 20th-century wristwatch on Archimedes' skeletal arm. Voller appears and captures Jones, wounding him. Helena and Teddy escape and chase Voller. Voller reassembles the dial and intends to time-travel back to 1939 to help lead Germany to victory in World War II by assassinating Adolf Hitler and avoiding his mistakes. At an airfield, Voller activates the Dial and locates a time fissure in the sky. Jones is held captive on Voller's stolen plane while Helena stows away through its landing gear. Teddy follows in another plane.

Whilst approaching the fissure, Jones realizes that continental drift could have altered the timeline coordinates. Rather than 1939, the group arrives at the Siege of Syracuse in 212 BC. The warring armies shoot down Voller's plane, believing it to be a dragon. Jones and Helena parachute out just before the plane crashes, killing all aboard, while Teddy lands safely. Archimedes finds Voller's body and wristwatch in the wreckage. He gives Jones the Dial but keeps the watch. Jones and Helena learn that Archimedes created the Dial to bring allies from the future through fissures that lead only to 212 BC to save Syracuse and lift the siege. As the fissure begins to collapse, Jones wants to remain behind, feeling he has nothing left to return to. Helena, fearing a time paradox and unwilling to give up on him, knocks Jones unconscious.

Back in 1969, a recovering Jones awakens in his apartment and reunites with Helena, Teddy, Sallah and Marion. Jones and Marion reconcile.

Mangold conceived the film's time-travel element and its use of the Antikythera mechanism as the MacGuffin.{{cite web |last=Davids |first=Brian |title='Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny' Director James Mangold Breaks Down His Ambitious and Emotional Ending |url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-features/indiana-jones-and-the-dial-of-destiny-ending-1235528734/ |website=The Hollywood Reporter |access-date=July 12, 2023 |date=July 3, 2023 |archive-date=July 11, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230711180908/https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-features/indiana-jones-and-the-dial-of-destiny-ending-1235528734/ |url-status=live }} To suit the story, artistic liberty was taken with the film's dial, giving it the ability to detect time fissures. Mangold considered time travel on par with the previous films: "It's no more of a wild swing in my mind than ghouls flying out of a box and melting people's heads through the sheer power of dark angels, or a 700-year-old knight existing in a cave for perpetuity.

Earlier films had featured Nazis as the antagonists, and Mangold and the Butterworths were inspired by Operation Paperclip as a way of reincorporating them for Dial of Destiny.{{cite web |last=Deckelmeier |first=Joe |title=James Mangold On Taking Over For Steven Spielberg In Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny |url=https://screenrant.com/indiana-jones-5-director-james-mangold-interview/ |website=Screen Rant |access-date=June 22, 2023 |date=June 14, 2023 |archive-date=June 22, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230622005554/https://screenrant.com/indiana-jones-5-director-james-mangold-interview/ |url-status=live }} Mangold considered Nazi Germany for the film's time-traveling final act, with Jones attempting to stop Voller's plan. However, as this idea was developed further, Mangold considered it too predictable. He also found that it lacked emotional resonance for Jones and played out like a spy film, prompting him to choose the Siege of Syracuse instead.{{cite web |last=Edwards |first=Molly |title=James Mangold breaks down the wild Indiana Jones 5 final act |url=https://www.gamesradar.com/indiana-jones-and-the-dial-of-destiny-james-mangold-breaks-down-ending/ |website=GamesRadar |access-date=June 30, 2023 |date=June 30, 2023 |archive-date=June 30, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230630105346/https://www.gamesradar.com/indiana-jones-and-the-dial-of-destiny-james-mangold-breaks-down-ending/ |url-status=live }} The Butterworths suggested the idea to end the film with Jones and Marion discussing their emotional pain, a callback to a similar conversation in Raiders. A post-credits scene featuring Short Round from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) was considered according to storyboard artist Gabriel Hardman, but the idea was discarded early on so Ke Huy Quan wasn't contacted to reprise the role,{{Cite podcast |url= https://theindycast.com/indycast-episode-337/ |title= INDYCAST: EPISODE 337 |website= IndyCast |publisher= IndyCast |host= Ed Dolista |date= February 20, 2023 |time= |access-date= April 29, 2023 |archive-date= December 10, 2023 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20231210063049/https://www.theindycast.com/indycast-episode-337/ |url-status= live }} with Mangold opting to not bring Shorty back due to wishing to assemble a story in the film's present that made sense and not wanting to include another adult companion for Indy, with Helena Shaw only being there to challenge him as the adventure's sole female character.{{cite news |last=Vejvoda |first=Jim |date=June 15, 2023 |title=Why Ke Huy Quan's Short Round Isn't in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny |work=IGN |url=https://me.ign.com/en/movies/209311/news/why-ke-huy-quans-short-round-isnt-in-indiana-jones-and-the-dial-of-destiny |url-status=live |access-date=September 24, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240710064224/https://me.ign.com/en/movies/209311/news/why-ke-huy-quans-short-round-isnt-in-indiana-jones-and-the-dial-of-destiny |archive-date=July 10, 2024}}

Following the release of Crystal Skull, LaBeouf criticized the film and Spielberg, although Mangold said this did not factor into Mutt's absence in Dial of Destiny, saying "there's only so many people you can edge into a picture". He further said about Mutt, "I didn't think his whole thing worked that well in the previous film". As in the earlier films, Mangold wanted to instead capture "that wonderful energy between Indy and an intrepid female character".{{cite web |last=Crosbie |first=Eve |title='Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny' director explains why Shia LaBeouf isn't in the movie: 'There's only so many people you can edge into a picture' |url=https://www.insider.com/indiana-jones-5-dial-of-destiny-shia-labeouf-absence-2023-6 |website=Insider |access-date=June 29, 2023 |date=June 15, 2023 |archive-date=June 15, 2023 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20230615144849/https://www.insider.com/indiana-jones-5-dial-of-destiny-shia-labeouf-absence-2023-6 |url-status=live }} Mangold kept his options open about Mutt still being alive and simply off-screen, although he said "The reality is you want the story to focus on the characters that are in the picture. And so saying someone's out wandering off in the periphery seems sadder purgatory than actually making them a story point in the film and using their character's existence as a tremendous source of drama for some of our lead characters".{{cite web |last=Ryan |first=Mike |title=James Mangold On 'Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny' And Why He Could Use A Glass Of Scotch Right Now |url=https://uproxx.com/movies/james-mangold-indiana-jones-and-the-dial-of-destiny/ |website=Uproxx |access-date=June 29, 2023 |date=June 22, 2023 |archive-date=June 29, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230629004138/https://uproxx.com/movies/james-mangold-indiana-jones-and-the-dial-of-destiny/ |url-status=live }} Mutt was also absent from Koepp's original draft.

Although Crystal Skull was largely shot in the U.S., Marshall said that the fifth film would return to a global range of filming locations like the earlier films.

As with the previous films, visual effects were handled by Industrial Light & Magic (ILM), a division of Lucasfilm. Dial of Destiny has a total of 2,350 effects shots, including many that occur during the Syracuse siege sequence.{{cite news |last=Giardina |first=Carolyn |title='Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny': VFX Team on Creating a Young Harrison Ford and How Mads Mikkelsen's Villain Survived That Train Fall |url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-features/indiana-jones-dial-of-destiny-visual-effects-harrison-ford-1235531723/ |access-date=July 12, 2023 |work=The Hollywood Reporter |date=July 10, 2023 |archive-date=July 12, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230712032643/https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-features/indiana-jones-dial-of-destiny-visual-effects-harrison-ford-1235531723/ |url-status=live }} The time fissure, depicted as a stormy cloud portal, was made entirely through computer-generated imagery (CGI) and was among the final effects created for the film.

In addition to ILM, several other visual effects companies also worked on the film and spent more than a year in post-production. After ILM, Rising Sun Pictures was the second-largest contributor of visual effects; it handled 301 shots, most of them during the parade sequence.

Spielberg used motion capture for his animated film The Adventures of Tintin (2011), although he rejected the idea of using this method to digitally de-age Ford, saying in 2012 that he wanted the actor's age to be acknowledged in the film.{{cite news |last=Sacks |first=Ethan |date=July 3, 2012 |title=Steven Spielberg rejects 'Tintin' style performance-capture technology for an 'Indiana Jones V' |work=New York Daily News |url=https://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv-movies/steven-spielberg-rejects-tintin-style-performance-capture-technology-indiana-jones-v-article-1.994814 |url-status=live |access-date=June 3, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211205114252/https://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv-movies/steven-spielberg-rejects-tintin-style-performance-capture-technology-indiana-jones-v-article-1.994814 |archive-date=December 5, 2021}} By mid-2019, Spielberg and Koepp had devised a five-minute World War II opening sequence that would feature a de-aged Ford. Upon taking over the project, Mangold expanded the sequence to roughly 25 minutes.

More than 100 ILM artists worked on the opening sequence over a three-year period, using various methods. Ford was de-aged to depict his appearance during the first three Indiana Jones films. This was partly achieved using new artificial intelligence software from ILM, which looked through archived footage of a younger Ford in his previous work for Lucasfilm,{{cite web |last=Peralta |first=Diego |title=Harrison Ford Talks Being Digitally De-Aged in 'Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny' |url=https://collider.com/indiana-jones-5-harrison-ford-deaging-comments/ |website=Collider |access-date=May 22, 2023 |date=February 2, 2023 |archive-date=May 22, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230522155222/https://collider.com/indiana-jones-5-harrison-ford-deaging-comments/ |url-status=live }} including the original Star Wars films (1977–1983).

Ford and Mangold both felt that Crystal Skull did not do enough to highlight Jones' age and the new era in which he lives.{{cite web |last=Sharf |first=Zack |title=Harrison Ford Refuses to Retire From Acting as He Turns 81, Says 'Indiana Jones' Exit Is Not Bittersweet: 'It's Time For Me to Grow Up' |url=https://variety.com/2023/film/news/harrison-ford-retire-acting-indiana-jones-end-1235651189/ |website=Variety |access-date=June 22, 2023 |date=June 22, 2023 |archive-date=June 22, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230622142321/https://variety.com/2023/film/news/harrison-ford-retire-acting-indiana-jones-end-1235651189/ |url-status=live }} Speaking about Dial of Destiny as a finale to the franchise, Mangold said, "It became really important to me to figure out how to make this a movie about a hero at sunset". He said that Jones' age would be a major part of the film, something that was touched upon only briefly in the earlier drafts: "The issues I brought up about Indy's age were not things I thought were being addressed in the material being developed at the time. There were 'old' jokes, but the material itself wasn't about it. To me, whatever your greatest liability, you should fly straight towards that. If you try to pretend it's not there, you end up getting slings and arrows the whole way". According to Mangold and Ford, Dial of Destiny is about age, time and family relationships.{{cite web |last=Edwards |first=Molly |title=Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny cast and director reflect on time and family in Indy's swan song |url=https://www.gamesradar.com/indiana-jones-and-the-dial-of-destiny-interview-harrison-ford/ |website=GamesRadar |access-date=June 29, 2023 |date=June 28, 2023 |archive-date=June 29, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230629025001/https://www.gamesradar.com/indiana-jones-and-the-dial-of-destiny-interview-harrison-ford/ |url-status=live }}{{cite magazine |last=Huff |first=Lauren |title=Turning back the Dial: Harrison Ford examines the legacy of Indiana Jones as he caps a historic run |url=https://ew.com/movies/harrison-ford-indiana-jones-and-the-dial-of-destiny-cover-story/ |magazine=Entertainment Weekly |access-date=June 27, 2023 |date=June 27, 2023 |archive-date=June 27, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230627171204/https://ew.com/movies/harrison-ford-indiana-jones-and-the-dial-of-destiny-cover-story/ |url-status=live }} Mangold said the film "is not about aging per se, but time — the way time travels for all of us, the way we all get older as the world changes around us".

Mangold said of the film's cinematic style that the opening sequence, set in 1944, is meant to contrast with the main plot, which takes place in 1969, allowing the film to start with a blast of classic Indiana Jones action reminiscent of the first three films (1981–1989). The transition from the pulpy cinematic language of 1940s films brings the characters from an "older world" into the "modern" 1960s, a present strongly influenced by the Cold War, nuclear power, space travel, intrigue and the lack of black-and-white morality. Mangold sought to portray "an accurate and realistic appraisal of where this character would be at this time in his life", describing Jones as "a hero who is used to a black and white world" when it comes to villains, who now finds himself in a gray world with a lack of "clear good guys and bad guys". Jez Butterworth noted the presence of ex-Nazis involved in the U.S. government's Moon-landing program. This makes Jones grow distrustful of his country, feeling like a man out of time in an era in which idealism is gone. It was Ford's idea to start the 1969 storyline with Jones at a low point in his life, and then gradually "rebuild him from the ground up" as the film progresses.{{cite web |last=Nash |first=Anthony |title=Indiana Jones Shirtless Scene in Dial of Destiny Was Harrison Ford's Idea |url=https://www.comingsoon.net/movies/news/1292508-indiana-jones-shirtless-scene-in-dial-of-destiny-was-harrison-fords-idea |website=ComingSoon.net |access-date=June 1, 2023 |date=June 1, 2023 |archive-date=June 1, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230601120139/https://www.comingsoon.net/movies/news/1292508-indiana-jones-shirtless-scene-in-dial-of-destiny-was-harrison-fords-idea |url-status=live }}

Mangold compared Dial of Destiny to his final X-Men film Logan, enjoying the notion of what a hero can do for the world when it no longer has a place for him, allowing classical heroes to be seen through the "prism" of today's "jaundiced contemporary attitudes". However, Dial of Destiny would lack the seriousness of Logan, with the latter being regarded as a "purposefully and intentionally" grim adventure.

Owen Gleiberman of Variety described the film as a "dutifully eager but ultimately rather joyless piece of nostalgic hokum minus the thrill... Though it has its quota of 'relentless' action, it rarely tries to match (let alone top) the ingeniously staged kinetic bravura of Raiders of the Lost Ark ... time travel, in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, is really an unconscious metaphor, since it's the movie that wants to go back in time, completing our love affair with the defining action-movie-star role of Harrison Ford. In the abstract, at least, it accomplishes that, right down to the emotional diagram of a touching finale, but only by reminding you that even if you re-stage the action ethos of the past, recapturing the thrill is much harder".{{cite news |last=Gleiberman |first=Owen |url=https://variety.com/2023/film/reviews/indiana-jones-and-the-dial-of-destiny-review-harrison-ford-1235617471/ |title='Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny' Review: Harrison Ford Plays the Aging Indy in a Sequel That Serves Up Nostalgic Hokum Minus the Thrill |work=Variety |date=May 18, 2023 |access-date=May 20, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230518235852/https://variety.com/2023/film/reviews/indiana-jones-and-the-dial-of-destiny-review-harrison-ford-1235617471/ |archive-date=May 18, 2023 |url-status=live}} David Rooney for The Hollywood Reporter criticized the film, writing "it's a big, bombastic movie that goes through the motions but never finds much joy in the process, despite John Williams's hard-working score continuously pushing our nostalgia buttons and trying to convince us we're on a wild ride".{{cite news |last=Rooney |first=David |url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-reviews/indiana-jones-and-the-dial-of-destiny-review-harrison-ford-james-mangold-1235495914/ |title='Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny' Review: Harrison Ford Cracks the Whip One Last Time in a Final Chapter Short on Both Thrills and Fun |work=The Hollywood Reporter |date=May 18, 2023 |access-date=May 20, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230519015125/https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-reviews/indiana-jones-and-the-dial-of-destiny-review-harrison-ford-james-mangold-1235495914/ |archive-date=May 19, 2023 |url-status=live}}

Shortly after the film's release in June 2023, Allen admitted herself she would have wished to appear more as Ravenwood in the film, but was grateful nonetheless that Mangold and the Butterworths still included her character in the film and asked her to be back. In October 2024, Rhys-Davies expressed his feelings that, despite liking the film as a finale to the franchise, he felt it didn't flesh out its full potential by taking the franchise to full circle, opining that Banderas' talent was wasted on Renaldo and that it should have been his character Sallah and George Harris' Simon Katanga from Raiders the ones who fulfilled Renaldo's role.{{Cite AV media |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uoeBmco-aM4&t |title=John Rhys Davies Panel - Fanboy Expo Orlando 2024 |last=The Cantina Club |author-link= |access-date=February 24, 2025 |via=YouTube}}

In December 2024, while promoting A Complete Unknown (2024), Mangold expressed disappointment to Deadline Hollywood at the poor reception to the film, saying, "You have a wonderful, brilliant actor who's in his eighties. So I'm making a movie about this guy in his eighties, but his audience on one other level doesn't want to confront their hero at that age. And I am like, I'm good with it. We made the movie. But the question is, how would anything have made the audience happy with that, other than having to start over again with a new guy? And then here come lifelong heroes from my childhood into my life going, 'We have something for you to work on'. It was a "joyous experience, but it hurt ... in the sense that I really love Harrison and I wanted audiences to love him as he was and to accept that that's part of what the movie has to say—that things come to an end, that's part of life".{{Cite web |last=Bamigboye |first=Baz |date=2024-12-06 |title=Breaking Baz: 'A Complete Unknown' Writer-Director James Mangold Reveals His Process With Timothée Chalamet & What Dylan Himself Thinks Of It All |url=https://deadline.com/2024/12/james-mangold-on-how-he-helped-timothee-chalamet-give-magnificent-voice-to-bob-dylan-1236194822/ |access-date=2024-12-17 |website=Deadline |language=en-US |archive-date=December 19, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241219121238/https://deadline.com/2024/12/james-mangold-on-how-he-helped-timothee-chalamet-give-magnificent-voice-to-bob-dylan-1236194822/ |url-status=live }}

While promoting the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) film Captain America: Brave New World (2025) in February 2025, Ford told The Wall Street Journal that the film's financial disappointment was because "shit happens" and claimed responsibility for its realization, arguing that he was the one who felt that there was still another story to tell with the title character suffering the consequences of the life he chose to have, hence his desire to play him again one last time and expressing his happiness for making the film.{{Cite web |last=Jurgensen |first=John |date=2025-02-05 |title=Harrison Ford Is Still Full of Surprises |url=https://www.wsj.com/style/harrison-ford-shrinking-1923-captain-america-7b1f9b3f |access-date=2025-02-05 |website=The Wall Street Journal |language=en-US |archive-date=February 5, 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250205193946/https://www.wsj.com/style/harrison-ford-shrinking-1923-captain-america-7b1f9b3f |url-status=live }}
