Plot Summary
Set against the backdrop of 1969, the film begins with a flashback to 1944, where Indiana Jones and his ally Basil Shaw are attempting to retrieve a powerful artifact from Nazis. The artifact, known as Archimedes' Dial, is an ancient mechanism that can reveal time fissures and possibly allow time travel.
In the present day, Indiana is facing retirement from his teaching position at Hunter College. His estranged goddaughter, Helena Shaw (played by Phoebe Waller-Bridge), seeks his help to locate the other half of Archimedes' Dial before it falls into the hands of Dr. Jürgen Voller (Mads Mikkelsen), a former Nazi who has now aligned himself with NASA.
As they embark on their quest, they encounter various challenges, including attacks from Voller's henchmen. The duo travels to locations such as Tangier and Greece, racing against time to prevent Voller from using the Dial for his own nefarious purposes.
The film culminates in a thrilling conclusion where Indiana and Helena confront their pasts and the implications of tampering with time itself.
