The Wheel of Destiny is a successful conclusion to the series.
In the present we then see that 80-year-old Harrison Ford, whose fight scenes aren’t as smooth as they used to be. The restricted movements cannot be retouched and at first glance it seems to take some getting used to seeing a hero who has aged so well. On the other hand Indiana Jones dares to do something that other films shy away from and addresses the aging of an iconic figure, because ultimately time doesn’t stop for anyone. Phoebe Waller Bridge also confirms this in our joint interview with Harrison Ford.
What I liked most about the script was that it told a story about aging. […] In far too many franchises, youth is fetishized. Indiana Jones, on the other hand, felt downright revolutionary. Financial failure of a successful conclusion
For two and a half hours, the audience follows Indy’s last big adventure consists of a well-known recipe. The journeys around the world, with action-packed chases and humorous characters, cost the studio around $300 million, according to Variety. Since marketing fees are not included, the last part was with one Box office gross of $380 million was a financial flop of the 2.3 billion franchise (via numbers).
Nevertheless, the last part is convincing in terms of content. We think the long tinkering with the script and the production was worth it, because in the end The Wheel of Destiny turned out to be a worthy conclusion to Indiana Jones.
That’s what the fifth part of Indiana Jones is about
In 1969, Indiana Jones is nearing retirement and seems to have lost his interest in life until his goddaughter Helena Shaw (Phoebe Waller-Bridge) shows up to convince him to find the second part of a valuable artifact. But it’s not just the two adventurers who are looking for the “Wheel of Destiny”. The scientist and Nazi Jürgen Voller (Mads Mikkelsen) also met Indy in 1944 and is now pursuing him around the world.
Because with Archimedes’ invention you can travel back in time and Voller wants to ensure that the Nazis win the Second World War. There is a lot at stake and Indy must finally take the hat off the hook and plunge into his last great adventure.
