Raiders of the Lost Art: Indiana Jones 5 Is the Best Kind of Throwback

Harrison Ford is back for one final—and very familiar—adventure in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.

Hollywood’s favorite hunky archaeology professor and globe-trotting antiquities vigilante has returned.

George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, who created and directed the first four Indiana Jones films, have passed the torch for the last installment, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, to director James Mangold (Logan, Ford v Ferrari). He serves up a flesh-and-blood cartoon with plenty of thrills and laughs and even a bit of pathos. As Phoebe Waller-Bridge, playing Indiana’s mischievous goddaughter Helena Shaw, says after goading him back into adventurer mode: “Indiana Jones is back in the saddle, going out with a bang!”
