Spoilers for all Indiana Jones works preceding this one will be left unmarked. You Have Been Warned! Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny is a 2023 adventure film, and the fifth entry in the Indiana Jones film franchise. In a franchise first, Steven Spielberg is only credited as executive producer on the film, with James Mangold (of Walk the Line, Logan and Ford v Ferrari fame) in the director's chair instead. Franchise co-creator George Lucas also returned as an executive producer as well, but not a writer, with Jez and John-Henry Butterworth (Edge of Tomorrow, Ford v Ferrari) instead writing the script with Mangold and David Koepp. Lastly, the film is the first and only Indiana Jones film to be released by Disney instead of Paramount (though the latter still gets an "in association with" label credit).Set shortly after the Moon Landing in 1969, the film tells the story of the last big adventure of Dr. Henry "Indiana" Jones (Harrison Ford), with the adventurer working alongside his goddaughter Helena Shaw (Phoebe Waller-Bridge) and his old friend Sallah (John Rhys-Davies). They come into conflict with a former Nazi doctor named Jürgen Voller (Mads Mikkelsen), who fought against Indy during World War II, and seeks to use the titular Dial of Destiny to rectify the Nazis' mistakes.The film also stars Karen Allen as Marion Ravenwood, Antonio Banderas as Renaldo, Toby Jones as Basil Shaw, Boyd Holbrook as Klaber and Ethann Isidore as Teddy Kumar. It premiered at the Cannes Film Festival on May 18, 2023, and was released on June 30, 2023.Trailers: Trailer 1, Big Game TV Spot, Official Trailer.

Arc Symbol: Clocks. The titular Dial resembles a clock, Indy's retirement present is a clock (which he quickly fobs off onto a passerby), at one point Teddy pickpockets a watch off Indy, Archimedes' body has a 60s era watch on it which turns out to be Voller's taken off his corpse in the past, and when Indy wakes up in his apartment in the present, some focus is given to the ticking of a clock next to his bed.

The Millstone: By the time the main story starts, Voller has come to view Hitler himself as a General Failure whose incompetence led the Third Reich to ruin. This is why he intends to go back in time - to assassinate Hitler and replace him with a more competent Führer (implicitly himself) who can successfully conquer the world.

No Celebrities Were Harmed: Jürgen Voller is a former Nazi rocket scientist who got recruited by the United States to help with the Apollo project; the fact that he's stated to have relocated to Alabama, and his connections to NASA, make him a stand-in for real-life Nazi Wernher von Braun.

Genre Shift

comment
Genre Shift: Where the previous three films and this Grand Finale's Action Prologue were heavily based on the pulp adventure serials of the '30s and '40s and the latest last one based on the pulp sci-fi of the '50s, this one is derived in part from the action thrillers and Conspiracy Thrillers of the 60's and 70's including Spy Fiction such as James Bond (which inspired the creation of the franchise in the first place and shared its cast members in both franchises) and its many imitatorsinvoked during the decades and post war-Nazi conspiracy thrillers such as Marathon Man, The Odessa File and The Boys from Brazil (which featured Wolf Kahler, who played Colonel Dietrich from the first film).

Villain Ball: There is absolutely zero reason to fly at such low altitude in the climax, other than to allow the plane to be in range of the Roman and Greek siege weapons, not to mention opening fire on the people below, which leads to the only possible result — the Romans start firing back and, since it is flying so low, they easily score enough hits to bring it down.

comment
Ambiguous Situation: When Helena meets up with Indy at the start, is she lying about studying for her doctorate? While she quickly establishes herself to be highly knowledgeable about archaeology in general and the Dial in particular, she steals the half of it that was in Indy's possession and is very quick to try to sell it to the highest bidder (although she could well have been planning to double-cross said highest bidder before Indy and then Voller showed up). The doctorate story could be a ruse to gain Indy's trust, as he's her (estranged) godfather who has been a university lecturer for decades and would surely respect any young person looking to continue their studies in his chosen subject.

The World Is Just Awesome: Indy is absolutely overjoyed to witness the Siege of Syracuse and be a part of history, at one point getting distracted looking at a Roman ballista bolt before thinking to cut his bonds on it and geeking out over proof of Archimedes' defensive inventions. He's even more overjoyed to get to meet Archimedes himself, and even considers staying in the past so he can continue to live in the history he's always wanted to see. Helena has to knock him out to get him back.

Shoot the Shaggy Dog: Since the time fissure leads to 213 BCE rather than AD 1939, Voller's plan was doomed from the start. And then their plane crashes after the Roman ships start firing upon them, killing Voller and his cohorts instantly before they have a chance to return back to the present day. Being Nazis, however, they deserve it.

Missing Steps Plan
 Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny / int_30e6200f
comment
Missing Steps Plan: A villainous example. Voller plans to go back to 1939, right before the invasion of Poland, assassinate Hitler and either take over or at least help his younger self with that task. Even ignoring how his plan is doomed to fail from the start due to the Antikythera being rigged - which Voller isn't aware of - he apparently wants to take over Nazi Germany with a mere handful of hoodlooms. How he plans to achieve that or why anyone should follow him in the notoriously fractuated Nazi leadership is anyone's guess.

The present day narrative begins concurrently with the Apollo 11 moon landing and the Vietnam War is still unfolding in the background. Vietnam ends up being important to the backstory, as Mutt Williams enlisted and died overseas in the interim since Kingdom.

Stable Time Loop: The climax of the film is foreshadowed and depicted in ancient carvings depicting a winged creature with propeller-like structures, and Archimedes' skeleton wearing Voller's watch. Sure enough, Voller's plane ends up in the time of Archimedes and is mistaken for a dragon, while Voller ends up dying and his watch is taken by Archimedes when he discovers his corpse which allows him to complete the inner workings of the Dial he's currently working on.

Actor Allusion
 Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny / int_392372f9
comment
Actor Allusion: Thomas Kretschmann's character isn't exaggerating when he yells at Voller for suggesting that showing the incomplete Antikythera would lessen the terrible situation that they're delivering a fake Lance of Longinus to the Führer, asking if Voller even met Hitler in person. After all, he's been on receiving end of Hitler's wrath many times before. This isn't the first time that Karen Allen's character was separated from her husband. Harrison Ford is used to using the word "retire" as a euphemism for "kill." Also, this isn't the first (or second time for that matter) that Harrison Ford has to separate from his wife because something happened to one of their children. This is not the first time Boyd Holbrook has played the role of a main henchman tasked with tracking down an older protagonist and his younger female sidekick in a movie directed by James Mangold. Toby Jones was previously in another franchise that features a Nazi antagonist hell-bent on getting a supernatural artifact to win the war, a Project Paperclip scientist (with no experience at firing weapons), and a protagonist who travels back in time and wishes to stay there. However, he's on the Allied side this time. This isn't the first time the fifth film in a franchise has revealed that Shia LaBeouf's character suffered a Bus Crash. This isn't the first time Mads Mikkelsen plays a character who dies onscreen in a version of ancient Greece. This isn't the first time John Rhys-Davies enters the room to find the protagonist just regaining his consciousness after the big showdown.

Runaway Bride: Helena was at one point engaged to Aziz Rahim, the son of Big Rahim, a notorious Moroccan mobster, but ran out on him before their wedding. When Helena causes trouble at the hotel L'Atlantique (which is owned by Big Rahim), she comes into direct face-to-face contact with her ex-fiancé, who is disgruntled from being woken up by his father to go deal with the disturbance, surrounded by heavily armed goons and carrying a huge machete.

Villainous Legacy
 Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny / int_3a29c5c8
comment
Villainous Legacy: Hitler and the Third Reich. While Nazi Germany and its Führer are long gone by 1969 (when the film is set), their legacy continues to cast a shadow over history and the lives of those who both championed and opposed their evil. It's what drives Voller's agenda to use the Dial to travel back in time and ensure Germany doesn't lose World War II. However, Voller is also more interested in honoring and saving the legacy itself rather than its architect, as he blames Hitler and his mistakes for the loss rather than the Allies.

Ragnarök Proofing: The Antikythera works perfectly once all the pieces are assembled, despite being roughly 2200 years old, with half of it spending most of that time underwater. The Tomb of Archimedes includes a rope bridge over a river, and a puzzle lock in a room with a deadly trap, all of which are in excellent condition for a place nobody has set foot in for twenty-two centuries.

Noodle Incident: During their hunt for the Antikythera, Indy remarks to Helena that he's been shot 9 times throughout his career. One of them was by Basil Shaw (which Indy mentions and which we previously saw in the 1944 prologue). While not stated, we know a second one was the shot Indy took in his left shoulder during the truck chase in Raiders. The circumstances of the other 7 shootings are left unrevealed.

She's not particularly happy about it at first, since he tracks her down to Tangier and prevents her from selling half of the Antikythera to some mobsters, but she later warms up to him after seeing his love of archaeology in action due to being the daughter of an archaeologist and working on her doctorate herself. Helena, meanwhile, has a partnership with Teddy, having become a Parental Substitute for him after he tried to pickpocket her at the age of ten.

Bookends: Indy's final foes are the same as his first, as he faces off against Nazis (or at least ex-Nazis) one more time. A chase sequence done in the midst of the rain opens and ends the film. Weber and Voller are ultimately done in the same way: shot in the chest by a Shaw. After the prologue, we see Indy wake up in his apartment. The movie also ends with him waking up in his apartment again after being knocked unconscious by Helena. The very first shot we ever saw of Indy in Raiders was his hat (albeit from behind in silhouette). The very last shot of Indy is again his hat (albeit his hand grabbing it from off-screen).

Artistic License – History
 Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny / int_56515a39
comment
Artistic License – History: The real-life "Dial of Destiny" (the Antikythera mechanism) doesn't look at all like its movie counterpart — it was wrecked by being at the bottom of the sea for two-thousand years. The real mechanism post-dates Archimedes by at least a decade, if not more (components of the mechanism have been dated at ranges from 205 BCE to 87 BCE; the earliest date is seven years after Archimedes died). Furthermore, the film repeatedly just calls it "the Antikythera", which is nonsense because it was named after a Greek island where it was discovered; its name just means "opposite from Kythera," a larger island across a neighboring strait. Finally, it was found on a cargo vessel, with no signs of Roman legionnaires on it as the film suggests. While there was a real-life ticker-tape parade for the Apollo 11 astronauts held in New York City on August 13, 1969, the route never took place on the Upper East Side near Hunter College. While Indy flies from New York to North Africa via PanAm, Helena is on a Royal Air Maroc flight. The Royal Air Maroc airline didn't start doing flights to and from New York until 1975. The Sicilians and Romans confuse the German plane for dragons, but the concept of dragons as flying creatures is a medieval invention; dragons of classical myth were very large but otherwise typical snakes. Linear B and Polybius Squares are two possible 'codes' on the Graphikos; in the case of the former, Linear B is called out as not being a language, despite it literally being the alphabet that Mycanaean Greek was written in. In the case of the latter, Polybius Squares were first described by Polybius in Volume 10 of his Histories... which he started writing forty years after Archimedes died. Polybius himself wouldn't even be born until 200 BCE, twelve years after the Siege of Syracuse ended. Any archaeologist can tell you that leather generally doesn't stay preserved, especially in a warm and humid climate like the Mediterranean; despite this, when Jones and Helena come upon Archimedes's tomb, they find a modern wristwatch on his corpse, missing the face plate so Archimedes could analyze the interior... but with the leather strap completely intact!

comment
Our Time Travel Is Different: Time travel in the Indiana Jones universe happens by way of seemingly random "time fissures" that can only be located by the most advanced mathematics and, crucially, the titular Dial — a.k.a. the Antikythera. However, all Antikythera calculations only point towards fissures going to and from one specific point in time (rendering Voller's plans to return to 1939 and take the Third Reich for himself moot), and because Stable Time Loop is in effect, it would appear that the past is immutable.

Helena has her own moment when Voller is attempting to force them to translate the Graphikos at gunpoint. Thinking fast, she uses her reputation as an unscrupulous smuggler to feign defecting to Voller's side, manages to weasel Voller's cigarette from him and uses the translation to draw attention away from her lighting the dynamite she pocketed in an earlier scene with said cigarette. And afterwards reveals to Indy that while she gave a truthful translation rather than attempt to come up with a convincing lie on the spot, she noticed that the Graphikos weighed a lot more than a wax tablet should and deduced that the actual instructions were hidden inside it, which she quietly let slip Voller's notice. And she pockets the payment that Voller gave her for defecting as she, Indy, and Teddy use the resulting chaos to escape too.

Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: It wouldn't be an Indiana Jones film without mentioning Indy's fear of snakes but surprisingly, there are no snakes in the film at all. Instead, Indy has face off against eels during his three-minute dive for the second half of the Roman ship. Given that the eels are shaped like snakes, move like snakes, and can deliver a nasty bite... Indy doesn't fare better with eels either.

Nazi Gold: The Action Prologue begins with a Nazi plunder train being filled up with stolen treasure, although it's captured by British troops before it can make it back to Germany. After Voller takes the Graphikos from Indy and Helena, it turns out he can't actually read it, being written in an Ancient Greek cipher. Helena offers to translate for him but demands several tens of thousands of dollars in payment. Voller casually pours a satchel of diamonds out into her hands, commenting that it's more than her asking price.

comment
Hollywood Density: The titular Dial is made entirely of bronze, but you wouldn't know it from the ease with which the characters handle it. The golden disk hidden inside the Graphikos is said to be made of gold, but a solid gold object that size would weight in the neighborhood of 10 Kg. (22 lbs.) and would thus not be handled with such ease.

Artistic License – Military
 Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny / int_6eb4e408
comment
Artistic License – Military: During the last act, Voller is greeted by his henchmen as "Herr Oberst", a correct way to address an officer in the German military (this is a rank equivalent to colonel). However, this is a Wehrmacht rank, while he's wearing a SS uniform. They should be saying "Standartenführer". It is stated that the Roman ship carrying one half of the dial was guarded by a hundred centurions. Roman centurions were senior legionaires in charge of a century (60-80 legionaires). Centurions were all tough, veteran soldiers but their primary roles were as the legions' field-grade officers. They were not primarily bodyguards or special forces. A Roman legion would have about 60 centurions who were responsible for running the legion's day-to-day operations. It is highly unlikely that a Roman general would strip a legion of most of its officers to guard an artifact like the Dial. He would assign 1-2 trusted veteran centuries led by senior centurions.

Put on a Bus
 Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny / int_754df088
comment
Put on a Bus: Multiple absences from Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Jim Broadbent doesn't reprise the role of Marshall College's Dean Charles Stanforth, leaving it unknown what's become of Marcus Brody's successor in the interim since the last film. That said, Marshall College itself doesn't appear, with Indy now working at Hunter College in New York. With the death of John Hurt in 2017, it's unsurprising that Harold Oxley is also absent (though it's left unclear in-universe if Oxley is still alive or if he's passed away in the interim). A variation with Ray Winstone. George McHale (apparently) died at Akator in the previous film's climax, so his absence during the main 1969 portion is justified. However, the previous film's backstory had also established Mac and Indy were partnered together during the Second World War; according to Indy, they did 20-30 missions together in the European and Pacific theatres. Yet, there's no sign of the younger Mac at all in the 1944 Prologue and Basil Shaw takes his place (though this could easily be explained away as Mac simply being busy on another mission elsewhere on the European front). In a sense, the Soviet Union. With Spalko's death and the failure of the Akator operation, the Russians are relegated to a background role due to the Cold War (and with surviving Nazis taking their place).

Rock Beats Laser: The Roman fleet attacking Syracuse is able to bring down a large WWII era plane using nothing more than ballistae bolts. Justified, since the plane was already experiencing difficulties and wasn't expecting combat, while the Roman soldiers are very much combat-minded. Noticeably, the first few bolts hit the plane while the whole crew is confused about what to do, and when they start reacting Voller is mostly acting erraticly. The crew also has only handguns to respond, and the plane can't maneuver. Noticeably, the second plane actually gets away without a scratch by mere virtue of being able to keep enough altitude that it's not even spotted by the fleet.

Later-Installment Weirdness: This is the only film in the franchise not to have an opening credits sequence. Instead, the only titles shown in the opening are Disney and Lucasfilm's "PRESENTS" credits, Paramount's associate credit and the film's title, and the rest of the major credits are placed at the start of closing credits sequence. It is also the only film in the franchise where the opening Match Cut does not change from Paramount's logo to a mountain or similar, due to Disney being the main studio in charge. What we see is Lucasfilm's logo changing to a latch.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: The American Government recruiting Voller under Operation Paperclip. By trying to exploit one of the Nazis' most valuable scientists and mathematicians for the Cold War, they instead gave Voller the (relative) freedom and resources he needed to pursue his hunt for the Antikythera. The protagonists, knowing the danger the Antikythera poses, nevertheless assiduously try to recover it instead of destroying it or leaving it alone, in obscurity. They even use the Graphikos to go find the second half of the Antikythera, even after having successfully fooled the Nazis regarding the latter's whereabouts, instead of just destroying the Graphikos, thereby giving the Nazis the opportunity to follow them and steal the second half of the Antikythera.

The Nazis have recovered the Lance from a fortress in France and loaded it on a treasure train bound for Berlin. However, Voller realizes that the Lance is a replica because it is made of an alloy not available in Roman times, and the engraving on it is too recent. Indy comes to the same conclusion as soon as he gets his hands on it. However, in his researches, Voller discover something even more valuable; the Antikythera, which becomes the main MacGuffin of the film.

Right for the Wrong Reasons: Indy realizes that Archimedes didn't know about continental drift and so didn't factor it into his calculations, and exclaims "I don't know where we're going...but it sure as hell ain't 1939!". He appears to be desperately clutching at straws, as the difference that 2,000 years of continental drift would make is negligible. But his conclusion is nonetheless right as it turns out that rather than allowing unrestricted time travel, the Dial is just a two-way portal that only leads back to 214 BC.

Even Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was open from the get-go it was going to involve The Greys.

Badass Bystander: Credit must be given to Luigi, the pilot whose plane Teddy hijacks. Despite clearly being as scared out of his mind as everyone else is when both their plane and Voller's plane all fly through the storm and into the time rift, ending up at the Siege of Syracuse in ancient Sicily, every time we see him he is doing the best he can to walk Teddy through safely flying and landing the plane despite the increasingly chaotic situation. Most notably, he is also one of the very few bystanders across the whole movie who ends up getting caught up in the plot and lives to tell about it.

Riddle for the Ages: Anything related to the nature and actual functioning of the time rifts, since the dial only finds them, but doesn't study them. Justified, as the main characters are archaeologists, not physicists, and while the villain is a physicist he is more interested in exploiting the rifts rather than understanding them.

Been There, Shaped History: Downplayed. It turns out that thanks to time travel, Indy, Helena, and Voller were all present at the Siege of Syracuse in 214 BC, although none of them have an appreciable impact on the battle itself. However, the appearance of a "dragon" (really a Heinkel He 111) seems to send a lot of Romans into retreat.

Foreshadowing
 Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny / int_9d12bbc1
comment
Foreshadowing: When talking to the bellhop, Voller tells him that the Allies didn't win; rather, Hitler lost, showing he believes far more in the cause than he does in its leader. Voller eventually tells Indy, instead of trying to kill an important figure of the Big Three, he plans to kill and replace Hitler as the leader of the Reich, using his knowledge of the future to lead them to victory. In 1969 Syracuse, a crowd of children are watching a puppet show featuring a Roman legionnaire fighting a dragon. During the climax, the dial sends the German bomber to Syracuse during its siege by the Romans, and both sides mistake the bomber for a dragon. Klaber is introduced learning how to speak German from a language textbook. He intends to join the Nazis in 1939 as part of Voller's time travel plan. The skeleton of Archimedes is wearing a modern device, specifically a watch similar to the one Voller is wearing before his plane departs for the time fissure. This foreshadows that the time fissure operates on Stable Time Loop logic, and the climax of the film actually takes place in Ancient Syracuse with Voller's watch ending up in Archimedes' hands. Archimedes' tomb also contains a carving of a phoenix with propellers on its wings, which turns out to be the airplane the Nazis take to go back in time. During the chase through the parade, Indy and Voller's mooks run into a crowd of Vietnam War protesters, and Indy immediately begins loudly protesting along with them until he is forcibly shut up. We later find out what ultimately happened to Mutt (killed in action during the very war being protested), and suddenly Indy being so quick to join the protesting is given a lot more weight to it. When we first meet Teddy, he is learning virtually how to pilot a plane, a scene which sets up his role during the climax as he pilots a plane he's never flown before to chase after the Nazi plane through the time rift and ultimately offer the protagonists an opportunity to return home.

Continuity Nod: The previous film revealed Indy had fought in World War II (as an operative for the OSS). The 1944 prologue dramatizes one of those wartime adventures — albeit with a new companion, not Mac. Marion's picture was taken during Raiders of the Lost Ark as she's wearing her Egyptian garb from that movie. Indy's apartment has a photo of Henry Jones Sr. and the painting of the Grail from his father's house. Indy mentions he is familiar with Tangiers. He'd previously visited the place as a boy in The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles. Helena's explanation of how she met Teddy is almost identical to what Indy tells Willie Scott when he explains how he met Short Round in Temple of Doom, namely that she caught Teddy trying to pick her pocket but his persistence endeared him enough to her that she took him under her wing. When climbing in the cave of Dionysus, Indy mentions being tortured with voodoo and drinking the blood of Kali. At one point, Sallah can be heard telling his grandkids part of a story about Indy and Marion running away from an exploding plane.

This Is Gonna Suck: One of the Nazi officers in the opening has this reaction once Voller tells them the Spear of Longinus is a fake, meaning they're going to have to go back to the incredibly unstable and desperate Hitler empty-handed. Voller pointing out they can use the Antikythera doesn't help, since nobody, not least of all Hitler, has heard of it and knows how powerful it really is. Said Nazi officer doesn't end up telling Hitler the news, mainly because he gets killed that very night.

 Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny / int_a54c2273
comment
Dented Iron: Indy, after a hard life of adventure involving many injuries and now in his seventies, has finally hit the point where he can't physically keep up anymore. While still fairly spry for his age and able to throw a few decent punches, provided he takes his opponent off guard, he simply can't enact the same death defying stunts and lengthy brawls he used to. He noticeably relies on riding on vehicles or horseback anytime there is a chase in order to keep up. At multiple points he tries to take Voller's men in a fight but is repeatedly easily overpowered if they see him coming. At one point, he gets tired out halfway up a relatively short climb and makes a point to complain to the much younger Helena about how much the years have worn him down. Apparently, in addition to all the adventuring he's done in his 70+ years of life, he's also suffering from regular old age-related problems as well, including "a plate in one knee and screws in the other". Indy getting into Good Old Fisticuffs with a huge musclebound henchman like Hauke is a staple of these films, but since Indy is a geriatric old man and Hauke is a giant mountain of muscle, every "fight" just involves Hauke grabbing Indy by the shoulders and forcibly pushing him to the ground.

Like Belloq, Mola Ram, Donovan and Spalko before him, Voller using the MacGuffin is what gets him killed. Unlike his predecessors, though, Voller doesn't die as a direct result of him using the MacGuffin. Instead, he is able to use the Dial to fly back in time ... but he goes to the Siege of Syracuse in 213 BC (not 1939 as he had hoped), following which his plane gets shot down by the Roman ballista crews, and he dies when it crash-lands, along with any of his henchmen who've made it that far.

 Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny / int_a7c91a10
comment
Meaningless Villain Victory: As with previous Indiana Jones movies, an antagonist gets what they want, but in the worst way possible. Voller successfully acquires and uses the Dial to travel back in time. Except the rift wasn't the one he wanted, since Archimedes rigged the dial to his ends (specifically, so that it would have brought help against the sieging Romans), so when he arrives in the past he is taken completely by surprise and is killed there in minutes. He changes the past... in a way, but not only it's not of his own volition but by being a pawn, it isn't even noticeable due to You Already Changed the Past being in place. The fact that his intervention ends up helping a besieged population adds that extra layer of irony.

Alternate History: In real life, the Romans won the 213 B.C. siege of Syracuse and sacked the city. In the film, the Greeks manage to make a comeback thanks to the Romans getting scared off due to mistaking Voller and Teddy's planes for dragons, which in turn was caused by Archimedes' time travel shenanigans. Although since the actual siege of Syracuse lasted for months, and Archimedes was killed by a Roman soldier during the siege, the Romans will clearly be back to try again later on.

Oh, Crap!: When the Nazis are about to hang Indy, an Allied bomb smashes through the roof and embeds itself in the floor without exploding. The Nazis standing in a circle around have a horrified look on their faces which gets worse as the bomb sinks through the floor and falls into the room below. And worse again as it crashes through the floor of that room and they realize it is going to do this all the way to bottom of the tower, where it will almost certainly explode. At the Hotel L'Atlantique auction, Indy uses his whip in an attempt to scare a room full of mobsters. After whipping a few, Indy's attempt fails when they all pull out their guns, leading him to have this reaction just before they start shooting.

All for Nothing: Indy's mission to recover the Lance of Longinus in the prologue turns out to be this, as the Nazis didn't have the 1900-year-old relic, only a 50-year-old replica. What Voller's efforts to reassemble the Antikythera amount to: it turns out that Archimedes rigged the Antikythera to always point to a rift that leads to the battle of Syracuse in 213 BC, meaning that Voller's plan to go to 1939 was never going to work.

Small Reference Pools: Played for Laughs in-universe when Teddy, being a Moroccan youngster, asks Indy if he knew The Wright Brothers, since they were from Indiana and his name is Indiana. Indy, visibly confused, points out that not only is "Indiana" his nickname and he doesn't hail from there, but that the Wright Brothers were born during the Civil War, almost thirty years before him. Teddy, clearly also not understanding when the Civil War was, just shrugs his shoulders.

Stupid Evil
 Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny / int_affd30b0
comment
Stupid Evil: Voller's men, Klaber in particular, are all rather trigger happy and quick to resort to violence in situations where it isn't the best option. This comes back to bite them three times over: When first confronting Indy and Helena, rather than just announcing their presence and telling a partial truth (that they're CIA agents looking for the Antikythera and Helena is an artifact smuggler), they approach the duo with guns drawn. Which means that Indy's first instinct is to escape these random violent thugs, causing a big enough distraction for Helena to slip away. Mason calls out Klaber on this specifically. Klaber's killing of innocent civilians just for interrupting their search of Indy's office prompts the CIA to stop humoring Voller's obsession with the Antikythera and order him and his men to submit themselves to custody. Voller manages to continue his hunt thanks to the CIA's own incompetence, but it still costs him their resources. After being deposited back in time at the siege of Syracuse in their Heinkel He-111 bomber, Voller's men panic and repeatedly strafe the Roman navy for no good reason, which naturally causes the Romans to fire back with their ballistae, ultimately causing the bomber to be brought down. By contrast, Teddy's inoffensive aircraft is largely ignored.

Crash Course Landing: Played with. Teddy is obsessed with aviation, and is shown having constructed a mock-up of the controls of a plane at his table in the hotel, and is getting a pilot to talk him through how to take-off his particular aircraft, with the implication that he has done this before with other pilots. This experience allows him to steal a plane in Syracuse and chase the bomber holding Indy, despite never actually having flown before.

Upon seeing the familiar coast of Sicily, Voller is gleeful that Indy was wrong, and that his plan is on track after all ... and then the clouds clear to reveal the sea beneath them is filled with Roman triremes.

Shout-Out
 Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: To Harrison Ford's other most iconic films: A Freeze-Frame Bonus shows a scene that looks like the cabin of the Millennium Falcon while going through hyperspace. Indy tells Voller that he should have retired him years ago. In Blade Runner, "retire" was the euphemism used to describe the killing of rogue replicants. A Nazi scientist recruited during Operation Paperclip secretly reforms the Reich right under the CIA's nose. Does this sounds similar to another Disney-owned movie? Even the way Helena stows aboard a German fanatic's warplane and kills some mooks by dropping them out (with one mook being extra trouble) is also very similar to another movie from the same franchise. When Indy first wakes up in his apartment, his TV is playing an episode of H.R. Pufnstuf. While in Sicily and chasing the Nazis who kidnapped Teddy, Indy and Helena make use of a Fiat 500. A couple to films of Sergio Leone: Indy being saved from getting hanged due to war ordinance conveniently striking the location and wrecking the floor underneath, is like how "Blondie" once escaped from Tuco. The film's prologue chapter ending on a quiet scene with the main character and the Leitmotif score playing, then switching to a nondescript setting with a jarring change to a Beatles song playing and the same character now shown to be very aged, is like the abrupt jump in decades after the prologue in Once Upon a Time in America.

Outside-Context Problem: Played straight and then subverted during the climax. Played straight in that the Roman legions assaulting Syracuse are faced with a WWII vintage plane that traveled 22 centuries into the past through a time fissure, none of which they have any possible context to understand. Then subverted in that their complete failure to understand what they’re seeing doesn’t deter the Romans for a second from immediately trying to take it down, and they succeed.

Hitler's Time Travel Exemption Act: An unusual example where an actual Nazi attempts to travel back in time to kill Hitler. Voller intends to use the Dial to go back to August 1939 and kill Hitler just before World War II starts, intending to replace him with a more competent leader (implied to be either Voller himself or his younger self) who can use Voller's knowledge of what happens in the war in order to win it. The plan is foiled because Archimedes rigged the Dial to always direct its users to a time rift that leads to the ancient siege of Syracuse.

Serial Escalation: Each of the Indiana Jones films have had the fate of the world hanging in the balance if Indy can't stop the Big Bad from acquiring and harnessing the power of the MacGuffin. This still holds true with the Antikythera. But, befitting Indiana Jones' last adventure, the stakes are now higher than they've ever been before in the franchise. This time, it's not just the world at stake, but history itself should Voller succeed in altering the past and ensuring the Nazis win the Second World War.

"Eureka!" Moment: As the plane approaches the temporal rift, Indy sees a bunch of pellets shifting on the floor. He realizes that Voller didn't take continental drift into account, and the concept wasn't found out until after Archimedes created the dial, so wherever they're going, it's not 1939. Invoked by none other than Archimedes himself, when he finds Voller's wristwatch on his corpse; it's stated earlier in the film that studying its inner workings enables him to finish the original Antikythera.

Hoist by His Own Petard: A tragic instance with Mutt Williams in the interim since Kingdom. Indy reveals to Helena that his son enlisted in the US Army to spite his father (due to simmering tensions between them). This, of course, put him directly into the meat grinder of the Vietnam War (ironically much like World War I was for Indy) and ultimately got him killed. Like Belloq, Mola Ram, Donovan and Spalko before him, Voller using the MacGuffin is what gets him killed. Unlike his predecessors, though, Voller doesn't die as a direct result of him using the MacGuffin. Instead, he is able to use the Dial to fly back in time ... but he goes to the Siege of Syracuse in 213 BC (not 1939 as he had hoped), following which his plane gets shot down by the Roman ballista crews, and he dies when it crash-lands, along with any of his henchmen who've made it that far.

 Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny / int_d525f857
comment
Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale: Zig-zagged. Near the end of the movie, Indy starts laughing at Voller, claiming his calculations are off because he didn't take continental drift into account. The thing is, continental drift is really slow. In the time since the Siege of Syracuse, there would only be 22 or so meters of movement which is coincidentally the same as the wingspan of the plane the Nazis are on. Considering that they are sucked into the time rift and there isn't another one in the frame, such a tiny difference would not matter. However, this may be done intentionally on the part of the writers. At this point Indy is exhausted, wounded and captured, Voller has pretty much won, and no one is aware that help is coming or that Archimedes rigged the Antikythera to always go back to the Siege of Syracuse. So this might as well be done to show that Indy is desperately grasping at straws.

Doctor von Turncoat: Voller, a former Nazi scientist, was recruited by NASA to help with the Apollo Project; this is Truth in Television, as numerous Nazi scientists were recruited by the US government to help build their nascent rocketry program as part of Operation Paperclip after World War II. His profession as a professor at the University of Alabama is fitting, since their Huntsville campus played host to scientists like Wernher von Braun when they worked at the nearby Redstone Arsenal.

History Repeats: A tragic instance with Mutt Williams in the interim since Kingdom. Like his father and grandfather half a century earlier, tensions between Mutt and Indy became strained and Mutt ended up enlisting in order to take part in the great conflict of his time — one that, just like World War I was for Indy, became a bloody, grinding stalemate. Unlike his father, sadly, Mutt was killed in action.

Decon-Recon Switch: Helena can be read as a deconstruction of more modern interpretations of the Adventurer Archaeologist trope. While Helena is ostensibly inspired by Indy and her father's adventures, she's a Dark Action Girl who wants to retrieve antiquities not to preserve and study them, but to profit off of them; for instance, her primary motive for acquiring the dial is paying off a gambling debt, and she is more than willing to sell it to a literal group of Nazis if it means she can get the money. She leans more heavily into the 'adventurer' half of the trope, even having her own Sidekick in the form of Teddy, and while she is knowledgeable about the dial and its adjacent MacGuffins, she's downright callous at times when it comes to the preservation of human life, let alone the preservation of antiquities; Jones snaps at her after she makes a dynamite-related quip in the aftermath of their escape from Renaldo's boat, during which yet another of Indy's friends died. However, it gets reconstructed, as she's shown to be fiercely loyal to both Teddy and Indy as the film goes on, and her Pragmatic Hero attitude does save their lives several times over the course of the film, ultimately culminating in her punching out Indy and dragging him back to 1969 by force.

Indy Ploy: It wouldn't be Indiana Jones if they didn't just make it up as they went along. The opening section set in 1944 sees Indy fighting his way out of a train full of Nazis while it's being attacked by Allied forces. He has no plan, no backup (other than Basil, but he's also been captured), and (since this is the opening and one is assured that Indy survives), no problem escaping death. He makes it through mostly by repeatedly blending in with the Nazis thanks to his stolen uniform and taking advantage of the mayhem caused by an Allied air attack on the train. Special mention must go to the moment where his attempt to steal a car is interrupted by a couple Nazi officers climbing into the back and mistaking him for their driver; Indy rolls with it without missing a beat. After being captured at Hunter College, Indy manages to escape from Voller's goons when they have to lead him through the moon landing parade. He momentarily distracts them by joining an anti-Vietnam War chant from some protestors before wriggling out of the grip of the guy holding him and thwacking him with a protestor's sign. He first tries to get a mounted policeman's attention, but when Klaber shoots him Indy instead steals the cop's horse and dashes through the parade. Klaber and Hawke aren't far behind on a commandeered motorcycle and parade car respectively so Indy rides the horse into the subway and darts out onto the track when Klaber still rides after him, narrowly dodging two subway trains to make it onto the next platform. Even after all of that, Mason has almost cuts him off before he slips into the now just-arrived subway train he avoided a moment earlier. Helena has her own moment when Voller is attempting to force them to translate the Graphikos at gunpoint. Thinking fast, she uses her reputation as an unscrupulous smuggler to feign defecting to Voller's side, manages to weasel Voller's cigarette from him and uses the translation to draw attention away from her lighting the dynamite she pocketed in an earlier scene with said cigarette. And afterwards reveals to Indy that while she gave a truthful translation rather than attempt to come up with a convincing lie on the spot, she noticed that the Graphikos weighed a lot more than a wax tablet should and deduced that the actual instructions were hidden inside it, which she quietly let slip Voller's notice. And she pockets the payment that Voller gave her for defecting as she, Indy, and Teddy use the resulting chaos to escape too.

Unexplained Recovery

comment
Unexplained Recovery: Voller is last seen in the prologue getting clipped by a low-hanging pipe and knocked off a speeding train, something that could easily be fatal or at least crippling. There is no sign of any lasting harm from this when he returns in 1969. Him being a vital cog in a Stable Time Loop might have spared him from any harm until his role in it came to an end upon completing it. That, and the fact that he exists in a world where you can survive an atomic blast by hiding in a fridge.

You Already Changed the Past: Voller attempts to alter history by using the time fissure to travel to 1939 and kill Hitler and allow a more competent Führer to rise. What he doesn't realize is that the time fissure is actually a Stable Time Loop, which the film foreshadows with ancient carvings of a beast with (bent-up) propellers and Archimedes wearing a watch similar to Voller.

It is also the only film in the franchise where the opening Match Cut does not change from Paramount's logo to a mountain or similar, due to Disney being the main studio in charge. What we see is Lucasfilm's logo changing to a latch.

Dwindling Party: Villainous example. Voller starts off with a huge crew and massive amounts of resources in his hunt for the Antikythera but once Indiana Jones gets involved, he starts losing both manpower and resources until he's left with only a handful of loyal men and just enough equipment to get his plan off the ground once he finally has the artifact in his hands - and it still manages to get worse from there.

Undying Loyalty: Even a quarter of a century after the fall of the Third Reich, Voller remains nostalgic for and loyal to the Nazi ideology. The same does not extend to its Führer, however, as Voller holds Hitler and his incompetence responsible for their loss — hence his plan of invoking Hitler's Time Travel Exemption Act once they travel back to 1939.

Make Wrong What Once Went Right: Voller's motive for acquiring the Antikythera. He intends to travel back to August 1939 and ensure Nazi Germany doesn't lose the Second World War. More specifically, he intends to invoke Hitler's Time Travel Exemption Act and ensure that a more competent Führer (implied to be either Voller or his younger self) is leading the Third Reich as the war begins — one who also benefits from the future knowledge of the conflict that Voller brings with him.

Not My Driver: An accidental version. Indy knocks out the driver of a Nazi staff car at the fortress and hauls him out, then jumps into the driver's seat, planning to steal the car. However, before he can take off, two Nazi officers climb in the back seat and, assuming he is their driver, tell him to drive on. Indy goes along with it and obeys, while attempting to keep the train carrying the MacGuffin in sight.

Earn Your Happy Ending: Indiana Jones starts the film as a depressed, bitter retired adventurer and soon-to-be-retired academic, and with a dead son and a fallen-apart-marriage with his One True Love, one gets the sense that at this point, Indy is just waiting to die. But, after being thrust into one more adventure with his god-daughter, Indy rekindles his love for archeology and adventure, puts the Nazis down one last time, and ultimately finds a reason to keep living in being a surrogate father to Helena (and Teddy) and in his love with Marion. Indiana Jones may never have found that "fortune and glory" he's been seeking all these years, but ultimately he finds that he has all the treasures he could ever need.

Artistic License – Physics: Any fan of Mythbusters will tell you that the 'Archimedian Death Ray' made up of concave mirrors doesn't work as assumed in real life; Indy professes this invention as factual in his archaeological lecture at the start of the film, and we see it in action at the Siege of Syracuse at the end. However, if the device itself really did exist (a matter of debate), it could've been used to disorient enemies instead. To the film's credit, the mirrors are not shown actually igniting any Roman ships afire.

Downplayed in that he explains that Moroccan chewing gum is made from the sap of a plant which is heat-resistant, and he clearly states that it's a temporary patch-up (there's a bullet hole in the radiator, after all) which should suffice to enable them to drive as far as the railway station, from where they can get a train out of Tangier.
