Experience the return of legendary hero, Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford), in the fifth instalment of this beloved swashbuckling series of films. Finding himself in a new era, approaching retirement, Indy wrestles with fitting into a world that seems to have outgrown him. But as the tentacles of an all-too-familiar evil return in the form of an old rival, Indy must don his hat and pick up his whip once more to make sure an ancient and powerful artifact doesn’t fall into the wrong hands. Ford is of course still the consummate action hero, a remarkable 42 years after he first donned Indy’s iconic brown fedora. He delivers the same wry humour, physicality and low-key capability that made the character so popular in the first place.
It kicks off with a strong start, giving all Indy fans exactly what they want, which is our hero on a moving plunder train fighting Nazis during the Second World War. It’s a thrilling sequence only made possible – and believable – by the remarkable work of the VFX team in de-aging Ford so he can go back 25 years in time.
Fans of the franchise will find plenty to savour with plenty of action and daring sequences.
