Just weeks ahead of star Harrison Ford’s 80th birthday, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny arrives in cinemas. The fifth and final instalment of the franchise, launched by Steven Spielberg and George Lucas in 1981, sees the actor don his hat and pick up his bullwhip one last time for a time-travelling finale. In it, the beloved globe-trotting archaeologist must deal with age, mortality and a future that’s more concerned with the technological promises offered by the 1969 moon landing than it is with Indy’s search for a powerful ancient artefact that some good old-fashioned Nazi baddies are intent on using for nefarious, history-altering purposes. ..
