Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny

From acclaimed writer-director James Mangold comes the final chapter in the saga of one of cinema's greatest heroes. Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny sees Academy Award®-nominated actor Harrison Ford reprise his iconic role as the whip-smart archaeologist one last time for a thrilling, globe-trotting adventure.

It's 1969, and Indiana Jones is ready to call it quits. Having spent more than a decade teaching at New York's Hunter College, the esteemed professor of archaeology is preparing to retire to his modest apartment where, these days, he lives alone. Things change after a surprise visit from his estranged goddaughter Helena Shaw (Phoebe Waller-Bridge), who is seeking a rare artifact that her father entrusted to Indy years earlier-the infamous Archimedes Dial, a device that purportedly holds the power to locate fissures in time.

An accomplished con-artist, Helena steals the Dial and swiftly departs the country to sell the artifact to the highest bidder. Left with no choice but to go after her, Indy dusts off his fedora and leather jacket for one final ride. Meanwhile, Indy's old nemesis, Jürgen Voller, a former Nazi now working as a physicist in the U.S. space program, has his own plans for the Dial, a horrifying scheme that could change the course of world history.

Starring alongside Harrison Ford are Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag), Antonio Banderas (Pain and Glory), Karen Allen (Raiders of the Lost Ark), John Rhys-Davies (Raiders of the Lost Ark), Shaunette Renée Wilson (Black Panther), Thomas Kretschmann (Das Boot), Toby Jones (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy), Boyd Holbrook (Logan), Olivier Richters (Black Widow), Ethann Isidore (Mortel), and Mads Mikkelsen (Another Round).

Directed by James Mangold (Le Mans '66, Logan), the film was written by Jez Butterworth & John-Henry Butterworth and David Koepp and Mangold, based on characters created by George Lucas and Philip Kaufman. Kathleen Kennedy, Frank Marshall and Simon Emanuel served as the film's producers, with Steven Spielberg and George Lucas as executive producers.

John Williams, who has scored each Indy adventure since 1981's Raiders of the Lost Ark, composed the score. The production's below-the-line talent includes Director of Photography Phedon Papamichael (Le Mans '66); Production Designer Adam Stockhausen (West Side Story); Film Editors Michael McCusker, Andrew Buckland and Dirk Westervelt (Le Mans '66); Costume Designer Joanna Johnston (Lincoln); Visual Effects Supervisor Andrew Whitehurst (Ex Machina); and Visual Effects Producer Kathy Siegel.

There's no question that Indiana Jones remains one of the most beloved characters ever brought to the screen: the American Film Institute ranked the adventurer as the second greatest movie hero of all time-only Gregory Peck as Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird could top him. Yet it's simply hard to imagine Indy would have enjoyed the same staying power in the cultural consciousness without Harrison Ford in the battered brown fedora.

The moment Indy appeared on screen for the first time in Steven Spielberg's 1981 landmark Raiders of the Lost Ark, it was obviously the perfect marriage of character and star. With his rugged, rough-around-the-edges masculinity, Ford was undeniably charismatic yet also deeply, endearingly charming. He deployed a knowing smirk at all the right moments and escaped seemingly impossible scrapes through some combination of ingenuity, resourcefulness and just plain luck.

Of all the indelible characters Ford has portrayed, he's always felt a special affinity for Indiana Jones, and the actor would periodically ask producers Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall about potentially reprising the role one last time. "Harrison loves this character as much as the audience, and he didn't want to see it end," Kennedy says. "He kept asking "Is there another story?'" To find the answer, Kennedy, Ford and Spielberg turned to James Mangold, the masterful storyteller behind such critically acclaimed, commercially successful films as Walk the Line, Logan, and Le Mans '66 A two-time Academy Award® nominee, Mangold had extensive experience telling emotionally satisfying stories about historical figures from Johnny Cash to Carroll Shelby, and he was equally adept with dramatic tales about outsider figures. His movies, which often centered on captivating, conflicted protagonists, were always expertly crafted, uniquely thought-provoking, and keenly entertaining.

"I think all of us involved have recognised for a long time that Jim is an exceptional filmmaker," says Kennedy. "He's also one of those rare filmmakers who really studies movies. He is a scholar when it comes to talking about movies. The minute Jim's name came up, Harrison was already 100 percent on board. That meant a lot to me. It meant a lot to Steven. It meant a lot to Frank." Already personally acquainted with Mangold, Ford says it was the writer-director's body of work that underlined why he was the right person to take the reins from Spielberg on the final Indiana Jones adventure. "There are a lot of aspects of Jim Mangold's filmmaking skill that I admire," Ford says. "But as a storyteller, he's got a particular perception, born of his own experience, understanding, and his ambition is consistent with the ambition that we've had all the way through this series of films to create large-scale entertainment with a kind of wry humor and an emotional reality that engages the audience."

Says Spielberg: "He was a director who shared my sensibilities about editing, pacing, character development, balancing scenes. I thought, If I don't do another Indiana Jones movie, James Mangold should." Echoed Marshall: "Jim was so knowledgeable about the character of Indiana Jones and the series and what makes it work. Based on the work he had already done and the movies he had made, we really felt confident that he was the right person to do this."

For Mangold, the experience of watching Raiders as a 17-year-old at the Orange County Mall in upstate New York on opening day-June 12, 1981-is one he's never forgotten. He was riveted by the rollicking spirit of the classic adventure, which borrowed styles and techniques from the early decades of the cinematic artform. It was an equal mix of chases, cliffhangers, fisticuffs, romance, and wit, with a uniquely modern sensibility. However, Mangold's abiding love and respect for what Spielberg had created was exactly why he was initially hesitant to sign on. He only agreed to step behind the camera once he knew he would have the time to craft a compelling adventure worthy of the Indiana Jones series: Raiders, 1984's Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, 1989's Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and 2008's Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, all of which were directed by Spielberg.

Setting to work on a script, he reunited with Le Mans '66 screenwriters Jez and John-Henry Butterworth, the acclaimed duo whose filmography also includes Get on Up, and Edge of Tomorrow. In conceptualising the story, they understood it was vitally important to preserve all the qualities that made Indy such a flashpoint for generations of moviegoers.

"Indiana Jones is a character that always surprises us," Mangold says. "He can be selfish, he can be empathic, he can be brave, he can be a coward. And Harrison holds all these contradictory elements together. Indiana Jones is not a Greek hero on Mount Olympus, he's a very human character. I think all his eccentricities and anxieties and neuroses and foibles are part of his appeal. But he does have a superpower, and it's that he's incredibly lucky."

While they sought to honor the character, they also felt it was important to offer audiences something exciting and new. Additionally, they wanted to acknowledge the character's age, given that Ford would be (an admittedly spry) 79 during the shoot. So, they set the movie at the end of the 1960s, an era when an adventurous Greatest Generation hero inspired by the classic movie serials of the 1930s and '40s would feel like a bit of a relic himself.

"The obvious challenge is that you're returning to a genre without re-casting," says Jez Butterworth. "You've got the same actor who was playing this in his thirties playing it in his late seventies. I think that what had been perceived perhaps as a disadvantage was all the advantage. You had to absolutely run with the idea that what happens toward the end of people's stories [can be just as fascinating] as what happens at the beginning of them. It started to feel authentic, and it gained a reality that was playable. If you embrace the opportunity, all sorts of storytelling doors open up."

The approach strongly resonated with Ford, who felt it aligned with his innate understanding of the character. "We haven't avoided the fact that Indy has aged 40 years over the period we've been telling his story-we've embraced it," Ford says. "We faced the challenges he faced, and we've brought a real humanity and warmth to the story. It's a remarkable job of imagination that's been performed to conceive the context that the story takes place in. Very bold. Very exciting. Very courageous." When the film opens, it's the end of the line for Indiana Jones. As he prepares to retire from teaching, he finds himself spending his nights alone in a modest New York apartment. "The Indiana Jones we meet in 1969 is the result of the experience that we've had with him throughout the other films," Ford explains. "This is what happens when you're a broken-down archaeologist/professor and you're frustrated in your career and it's your last day on the job before retirement and you maybe occasionally have a drink in the middle of the day. He's dispirited, he's cynical, he's hurt, but the circumstances that are about to befall him lead to a great adventure in which there is a degree of redemption but renewal as well."

Explains Mangold, "I wanted to start Harrison's character as far from being Indy as we could, so that the audience would feel the elation when circumstances force him to pull that hat on again.1969 is a time where no one really believes in heroes like Indiana Jones anymore. In many ways, the adventure we've concocted is a reckoning between an old-school hero and an ambivalent and ever more cynical modern world." The sought-after artifact that drives the narrative, the Archimedes Dial, was inspired by a real-world artifact, the Antikythera mechanism. A mechanical device thought to be used in ancient Greece to calculate and display information about astronomical phenomena, it's been described as the oldest known example of an analog computer.

"The moment I knew the movie was about time, opportunities missed, opportunities lost, choices made, irrevocable mistakes, then the question [became], What would be the only thing that would allow me to fix time itself? explains Mangold. "The research that I found about the Antikythera, rumored to be an invention by Archimedes, has been speculated to be a kind of time compass." The writers did take the liberty of investing their version of the Antikythera mechanism with a little extra magic to make it the perfect MacGuffin for the story. "Archimedes' Dial, big, bold concept," Ford says. "I think it was a genius choice. Other items that we've used in the other films always had a religious aspect to them-Sankara Stones, the Holy Grail, Ark of the Covenant. But this was fooling with the nature of science."

Resolving to retrieve the item, Indy leaves New York behind to recapture the Dial, but he's not the only party pursuing Helena. Indy's old nemesis, Jürgen Voller, is after her too, in the hopes of intercepting the Dial. "The best villains in Indy movies are Nazis," says John-Henry Butterworth. "If you write down a wish list of what you want to see in an Indy film, it's Indy slugging it out with Nazis, and eventually prevailing. It was kind of like a crossword clue to try to work out how to fit that into the time frame that we wanted the main story to take place in."

To that end, the filmmakers created an action-packed prologue set in 1944 in which a younger Indy does battle with Nazi enemies. "In this case doing a sequence-and a really elaborate one-with Indiana at his prime fighting Nazis would be a kind of miracle," Mangold says of the writers' thinking. "It would allow the audience to remember something they might not have seen for a while. I felt like I wanted the chance to make a movie with a young Harrison. The ambition in me wanted a crack at it, so we wrote a sequence, a kind of elaborate adventure that opens the film."

As Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny was coming together, Mangold frequently consulted with executive producer Spielberg, who was working on his own directorial pursuits, including 2022's intensely personal family drama, The Fabelmans. Alongside producers Kennedy, Marshall, and Simon Emanuel (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Solo: A Star Wars Story) and fellow executive producer George Lucas, Spielberg shared creative ideas for the adventure with Mangold, who welcomed his input on all aspects of the production.

"His instincts and eye for story and staging are incredible," Mangold says of Spielberg, adding, "The biggest thing Steven said that resonated with me every day was about pace-that effectively making an Indiana Jones movie is like making a feature-length trailer. The movie can only stop so long because the whole movie itself is almost like a coming attraction trailer that just goes for two hours. And that simple aphorism, that simple idea stayed with me."

From the start, there was never any doubt that it would be Ford returning as Indiana Jones. That fact enabled the filmmakers to assemble a gifted ensemble of supporting players who would match the actor's consummate professionalism and skill, and who would be great scene partners for the vaunted performer.

"There's always been this unique charisma to Harrison," says Kennedy, who, along with Marshall, has produced every installment in the Indiana Jones franchise. "No one's like him. Everything he does is a part of who he is. I don't think there's artifice around much of what he does. Clearly, he's performing, but, as he would say himself, he's playing.

He's pretending. He's doing something that I think he did long before he even became an actor. I think that that's always been at the core of his performances and why he's so relatable."

The pivotal role of Helena Shaw went to Phoebe Waller-Bridge, the three-time Emmy® Award-winning writer and actress famed for her highly acclaimed comedy Fleabag. The character demanded someone who could believably go toe-to-toe with Indy, and Waller-Bridge, whose credits also include a memorable turn as activist droid L3-37 in Solo: A Star Wars Story, was an ideal fit for the part.

Intelligent, charming yet dangerously unpredictable, Helena has been estranged from her godfather for years. "She's fiercely independent, knows what she needs to survive, and she's going to go and get it," Waller-Bridge says. "All while she's being very witty and funny."

Mangold likens Waller-Bridge to great stars of Hollywood's Golden Age like Katharine Hepburn and Barbara Stanwyck. "I think that she's unlimited," says the director. "You know there's a pretty damn clever Swiss watch operating behind those eyes, and you better be careful. She's sharp and fast. So, who better to have Harrison jockeying with than someone with all that skill? One of the hopes you have for every movie is that there's a kind of chemistry, a kind of music between your actors, and Harrison and Phoebe had a great dynamism together."

Of Ford, Waller-Bridge says, "He is one of the most vibrant human beings I've ever met. He's incredibly smart and very, very funny, makes exceptional acting choices and brings such a glorious energy to the set. He's incredibly generous and kind and lovely. Whenever he's around, everyone has a smile on their face." Adds Ford: "Phoebe brings her rich comedic skills as well as her genuine warmth and humanity to the part. She's an incredible actress."

As Jürgen Voller, the filmmakers cast veteran Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen. Widely known for his work in blockbusters including Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Doctor Strange and Casino Royale, as well as the TV series Hannibal, Mikkelsen has also delivered memorable performances in such dramas as the Oscar®-winning Another Round, which featured the actor as a high school teacher in the grips of alcoholism. Mangold lauds Mikkelsen as "an extremely powerful, tenacious actor who committed to the role 100 percent."

Although he's clearly the villain of the piece, neither Mangold nor Mikkelsen ever wanted Voller to feel overly caricatured. "We tried to avoid the cliché of the German or the Nazi with the extreme accent and the extreme madness," Mikkelsen explains. "We wanted him to be a man who kind of blended in once he moved to America because he's predominantly a scientist. Voller's pragmatic. He's a restrained character. He's a man you would pass on the street." Notes Ford: "Mads is an actor that I have tremendous admiration for, both for his energy and investment in the process."

Stepping into the role of Voller's neo-Nazi lackey Klaber was actor Boyd Holbrook, who previously worked with Mangold on Logan and has appeared in such films as The Predator and Gone Girl and TV series including The Sandman, The Fugitive, and Narcos. "He becomes Voller's lapdog, but he's also a bit of an opportunist, wanting to get in on the ground floor of this great enterprise that Voller is starting up," Holbrook says. "Klaber is there to serve those purposes."

But Indy has some key allies on his side as well. Notes Mangold: "Part of what we expect in an Indiana Jones film is a tumbling menagerie of characters coming at us while they travel the world."

Respected Spanish actor Antonio Banderas, a 2020 Academy Award® nominee for his role in Pedro Almodóvar's Pain and Glory, plays Renaldo, a sailor friend of Indy's to whom he turns when he needs the services of an expert diver in Greece. "Renaldo is a fisherman now, but he was probably a partisan who fought for freedom, maybe in the Spanish Civil War, maybe later in the Second World War," says Banderas. "Renaldo is a courageous man, a little bit crazy but in a good way. And he's a loyal friend to Indy. I think at this particular time in history, Indy needs that."

John Rhys-Davies (the Lord of the Rings trilogy) returned to reprise his signature role as Indy's longtime companion Sallah, the loyal and good-natured excavator from Raiders of the Lost Ark and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. When we meet him in Dial of Destiny, he's made a home in the United States, earning a living as a New York City cab driver.

As warm and thoughtful as his character, Rhys-Davies was delighted to see Sallah ride with Indy once more. "It is wonderful being back, wonderful being in the orbit of that great sun," he says, adding "Indiana Jones didn't just change my life-it actually changed the nature of film." Notes Mangold of Rhys-Davies "He's an actor of incredible gravity, yet he has this beautiful laugh and this sense of levity. And he's a great foil for Harrison."

Helena has her own helpful associate in Teddy, played by 16-year-old French actor Ethann Isidore in his feature film debut. Isidore, who was 14 during production, describes his character as "resourceful and kind of cool, and he knows how to act and how to be in every situation. He thinks he's an adult and that he's the best guy in the world, which is real. He doesn't like Indiana Jones at first because he's best friends with Helena. I think he has a crush on her."

Helena's father, Basil Shaw, who appears in the film's nail-biting opening sequence, is played by British actor Toby Jones, known for his work in Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, The Hunger Games, Captain America: The First Avenger and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, among many other films.

Although the character has never before been depicted on screen, Basil is an archaeologist and an academic who taught at Oxford and is also one of Indy's oldest and dearest friends-a man who was his "partner in crime" for decades. "There's genuine affection between them," says Jones of Basil and Indy's rapport. "They obviously share a fascination with the past but also there's enough emotion in the scenes that I have to show that he has great concern for me."

That concern, however, is not necessarily enough to protect Shaw from Thomas Kretschmann's Colonel Weber, the man overseeing Hitler's operation to loot art and artifacts from Nazi-occupied territories and ship them to Germany. Although he was playing a formidable figure, the East German-born actor (King Kong, The Pianist, U-571) found himself a bit cowed in his first scenes opposite Ford.

"Harrison's like my size, my height, he's very lean," says Kretschmann. "And he was sitting in front of me, and I was thinking, 'He's so big!' I felt like a child standing there with my Nazi uniform. It was almost a bit intimidating. He didn't do anything intimidating, but just, you know, his presence, that was awesome."

Completing the principal cast are Shaunette Renée Wilson (Black Panther, Billions) as Agent Mason, a CIA agent hunting for Indy; and Olivier Richters (Black Widow, The King's Man) as Voller's henchman Hauke

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny was filmed on location in Morocco, Sicily, Scotland, and England, in addition to stages at Pinewood Studios just outside of central London. To work with him on the film, Mangold recruited an exemplary team of behind-the-scenes creative talent, a group that included Production Designer Adam Stockhausen, Director of Photography Phedon Papamichael, Costume Designer Joanna Johnston, Special Effects Supervisor Alistair Williams and Visual Effects Supervisor Andrew Whitehurst.

Together, they developed the movie's awe-inspiring visuals and its incredible action sequences, including the film's largest set-pieces: the 1944 train sequence; the horseback chase through a ticker tape parade that leads into New York's subway system; a frenzied tuk tuk chase through the streets of Tangier; a tension-filled underwater dive in Greece; and the film's spectacular climactic sequence.

To remain true to the feeling of an Indiana Jones film, the production visited North Africa, Sicily, and sites across the United Kingdom to capture the spectacular vistas as a backdrop for the transporting adventure. "It's critical," says Harrison Ford. "You want to go to many places around the world. You want to feel these places, you want to smell them, as it were. And so, we want as much as possible to have practical sets, practical locations where there's a different culture, where there's a different feeling to the place."

Adds Production Designer Stockhausen, an Oscar® winner known for his longtime partnerships with both Wes Anderson ("The Grand Budapest Hotel," "Moonrise Kingdom," "The French Dispatch") and Steven Spielberg ("West Side Story," "Ready Player One," "Bridge of Spies"). "I think that is core to what makes these movies special; it's different to be in a place than to pretend you're in a place. Being in a place brings all the authenticity of the real thing, and it brings all the surprises of being able to twist and turn around corners that you wouldn't have imagined to build into a set."

Still, Stockhausen strove to match the visual grandeur of the real-world locations with the massive and richly detailed sets he constructed at Pinewood. The explosive opening sequence was a prime example of the way the film smartly married impressive locations-including England's Bamburgh Castle and the North Yorkshire Moors Railway station-with Stockhausen's inventive designs. The nighttime set piece sees the younger Indy attempting to rescue his friend Basil Shaw from Nazi captors while on board a moving train. "I wanted to give the audience what they want right up front so we indulge in this Indiana Jones classic experience," Mangold says.

Stockhausen did exhaustive research into trains of the period, drawing inspiration from archival photographs for the individual cars. The commander's communications carriage features walnut paneling and high-end fixtures and fittings, all inspired by Hitler's wartime train, the Führersonderzug. The treasure carriage is a wooden freight wagon with reinforced windows and doors and contains a stash of rare objects that includes copies of some of the real art and antiquities plundered by the Nazis.

Among the items are recreations of the Lance of Longinus or the Spear of Destiny, which is believed to be the weapon that pierced the side of a crucified Jesus at Golgotha; there was also the Imperial Regalia of the Holy Roman Empire, which were stolen in 1938 and hidden in the tunnels under Nuremberg Castle until being recovered after World War II.

Of course, one of the most challenging aspects of the tremendously complex sequence involved de-aging the then 79-year-old Ford to appear as though he was age 37. Visual Effects Supervisor Andrew Whitehurst from Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) joined the filmmakers in early pre-production to help design all of the visual effects in the film; his goal being to bring exactly what was needed to serve the story without drawing undo attention to the computer graphics (CG) elements, which included entire digital environments, multiple CG extensions to set builds and locations, complex creature animation, and simulations of natural weather phenomena.

Still, turning back the clock on Indiana Jones himself was arguably the most challenging job for the visual effects team at ILM. If the end result didn't look credible, the entire opening would fall flat. Fortunately, the effect was seamless. To accomplish this, ILM utilised a combination of proprietary techniques that involved cutting-edge face replacement technology (ILM FaceSwap), which leverages every nuance of an actor's performance. Through a combination of artistic skill and the use of artist-driven machine-learning tools, the facial performances made by Ford on set were mapped onto a digital version of the star's face.

The artists at ILM had access to Lucasfilm's vast archive of Harrison Ford footage from his starring turns in previous Indiana Jones movies, and by using the new technology and the catalog of archival imagery, they delivered a convincingly youthful Indiana Jones.

"ILM went about creating a system by which every day when I wrapped shooting this opening sequence, two days later, I already had in my cutting room, young Harrison," Mangold says. "You could see that it was getting what he was doing, meaning it was coming from his soul. He was driving the expressions, the intensity, the passion of the character."

Following the prologue, the film jumps in time to August 1969, when an estimated 4 million people lined the streets of Manhattan to fete NASA astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Mike Collins and celebrate the success of the Apollo 11 mission to the moon. Staging the parade and the chase that follows was an enormous challenge that required considerable on-the-ground preparation in Glasgow, Scotland, which doubled for Manhattan. "We needed a location for the chase and parade sequence through Midtown east and up towards Hunter College, and the scale of the buildings in Glasgow were really great for that," Stockhausen says.

Stockhausen looked at period footage and photos, especially photographer Stephen Shore's images of 1970s America, for inspiration on how to dress the streets and what vehicles to include in the parade. "We saw some really fun things in the photographs and footage that we ended up including in the scene," he says. "Like a station wagon with the rear gate down and a camera crew-that kind of detail is a really fun thing to grab because it's really specific, really authentic. It is the real thing. We added a few of our own things, parade floats and pieces that weren't in the original, but the skeleton of it is really from the actual parade."

Action vehicles supervisor Alex King was keen to include the 1952 Chrysler Imperial Parade Phaeton, which carried Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins through the ticker tape parade up Broadway. But only three versions of the car were ever made, so King was forced to procure a similar Chrysler, remove the roof, and paint it black. The team spent three weeks dressing Glasgow's main artery, St. Vincent Street, which was then closed to the public for seven days as filming took place. "You can't walk into a downtown metropolitan area and just take it over for three months," Stockhausen says. "You have to do your work in as compressed a period of time as you can possibly manage and then get out and let people get back to their lives. So, there was an incredible intensity for everyone to rush in and do all this dressing, put up all these signs, put up all this bunting. It was go-go-go."

Fortunately, the weather cooperated. The shooting days, which employed up to 1,000 background actors as parade-goers and Vietnam War protestors-were bathed in blue skies and sunshine, a godsend for Papamichael, who felt that the sequence should be colorful and vibrant to contrast with the 1944 prologue. The shifting palette indicated how much the world had changed around Indy.

"Although it was all shot in Glasgow, it felt like we were really in New York in the late '60s-the scale of it, the colours, the hippies, the pipers, the big band, the cheerleaders and the cars and police on horses," Papamichael says. "The contrast couldn't be greater than the sequence that precedes it. You explode from the night and the Nazis into this whole new visual bouquet of colors and tone. It worked as a great visual device for a transition of time."

A two-time Academy Award® nominee for his work on The Trial of the Chicago 7 and Nebraska, Papamichael has collaborated with James Mangold on six films, including Le Mans '66 and Walk the Line. Filmmaking is clearly in Papamichael's DNA. His father was a gaffer on the classic MGM musical Singin' in the Rain; his grandfather, a prop man on John Huston's The African Queen.

In both the film's grandest moments and its most emotional scenes, Mangold and Papamichael were keen to pay homage to the work of Oscar®-winning British cinematographer Douglas Slocombe, who served as director of photography on the first three Indiana Jones films. "This movie has such a wide arc of visuals, which is the most fascinating part for me as a cinematographer," Papamichael says. "What's amazing about this is we enter all these different visual environments-from Morocco to Sicily to underwater-that all allow for their very own specific lighting and palette. There's so much variety."

The parade sequence itself required more than one approach. As the chase progresses, Indy finds himself, on horseback, riding underground through Manhattan's subway tunnels, racing an oncoming train. For those scenes, Stockhausen created a full-scale replica of a subway station on Pinewood's 007 soundstage, the largest soundstage in the world, complete with paint and tile work that was aged to make the set feel as authentic as possible.

For that portion of the sequence, Papamichael developed a "grittier" approach to the lighting. "There's less with the cinematic theatrical palette," the cinematographer says. "It's dialed back a bit, with a touch of 'Taxi Driver' or 'The Conversation.'" (Notably, the latter film, directed by Francis Ford Coppola in 1974, featured Harrison Ford in a small yet memorable supporting role.)

"Gritty" was a word that was also used by Costume Designer Joanna Johnston to describe the brief she received from Mangold about how she should approach the characters' wardrobe. "Jim wanted the designs to reflect a gritty realism," Johnston says. "It was a less glamorous time. Because we're now in the late '60s, it wasn't about stylisation." Johnston, a two-time Academy Award® nominee (Allied, Lincoln), also wanted to honor the legacy of her former mentor, revered Costume Designer Anthony Powell. Johnston had worked under the three-time Oscar® winner (Travels with My Aunt, Tess, Death on the Nile) on Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and she co-designed the costumes for Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade with him. "I felt strongly that I wanted to hold his torch through the film," Johnston says of Powell, who died only a few days before Dial of Destiny began shooting.

Johnston hewed closely to the spirit of Indy's established wardrobe - the fedora and leather jacket were non-negotiable, of course. When Ford arrived to try on the old costume, he found he was able to slip right back into the character's signature look. "It's a short story," Ford says. "It fit." Adds Frank Marshall: "It was unbelievable. There we were standing around and suddenly, there's Indy." Johnston developed complementary costumes for the other principal characters, including Waller-Bridge's savvy Helena and Mikkelsen's understated yet fiendish Voller.

For Helena, Johnston created looks that were practical, mostly jackets and trousers, with a little bit of extra flair. When Helena's in action mode, she wears baggy masculine shirts, jodhpur-like trousers and boots. "That was my favourite costume - I could basically live in that all the time," says Waller-Bridge, adding, "Helena's so many different things, but that's what created the challenge. Joanna really threaded it all the way through so brilliantly to make it feel like there is somebody who knows who she is and that comes through the clothes."

For Voller, Mikkelsen says that he and Johnston avoided anything that might appear too flashy. "We didn't want him to stand out," says Mikkelssen. "He's not in it for the vanity. But like Indiana Jones, he's a man of his time, so when we see him in the '60s, his look is reminiscent of him still being from the '40s."

When the story's action moves to Morocco, exteriors were shot on location in the city of Fez, while the lavish interiors of the Hotel L'Atlantique-where Helena goes to auction off her ill-gotten loot-were again built at Pinewood. Knowing that the hotel would be the site of a big, chaotic brawl, Stockhausen designed the space to accommodate the ambitious action. "The starting point for that was the nightclub sequence at the beginning of the second film ["Temple of Doom"], how beautiful that sequence was," explains the Production Designer.

The hotel brawl afforded Ford some classic Indy moments, with only quick-thinking and dumb luck saving his hide. "Harrison can play with your expectations of an action hero and undermine them, defeat the kind of macho tropes," Mangold says. "He finds more delight as an actor failing than succeeding." As the filmmakers developed an approach to the physical action with stunt coordinator Ben Cooke (Jurassic World: Dominion, Casino Royale), they wanted as many of the stunts as possible to be performed for real and to keep the feats of derring-do from straying too far over the top. That approach extended even to the breakneck tuk tuk chase, with the tiny vehicles, essentially motorised rickshaws, careening through the winding streets with motorcycles trailing behind.

Roughly a dozen tuk tuks were employed for the sequence, which culminates with Indy and co. plummeting down a set of steep stairs, the vehicle miraculously coming to a rest with its occupants rattled but still alive. "Almost all the human action in the movie is for real," Mangold says, with Ford adding, "I think it's very important to maintain a human scale to action. Too much of something is too much. When you're able to keep it to a physical reality with some embellishments, that feels real and more visceral for the audience."

Sicily stood in for Greece, where Indy and Helena meet up with Indy's old pal Renaldo and undertake a dangerous dive into vast caverns as they follow the trail of Archimedes.

"You're almost trying to think mathematically, what kind of arrangement have I not seen in an Indiana Jones movie?" Mangold says. "One kind of treasure hunting I felt I had never seen was underwater in a wreck. Just like in a cave, you could have underwater catacombs, treasure, traps, underwater animals." (And naturally, those animals are eels, the closest possible creature to Indy's mortal enemy, snakes.) "These were all, without fail, inspiring experiences," Mangold says. "And everyone had so much fun."

Perhaps Ford most of all-his joy was exciting for the filmmaker to behold. "He is the definition of a movie star," Mangold says of the legendary performer. "He knows the camera, he knows timing, he knows how cuts work. And that's one of the real positives, beyond his incredible charm and his instincts. He's a great actor, but he also understands what a movie is and how to make one."

And how did Harrison Ford feel on the very last day of filming, saying goodbye to his truly iconic character some 40 years after he first donned the fedora and cracked the whip? "I was thrilled!" Ford says with a laugh. "I was really happy." "I'll miss the people who I've worked with on the film - everyone at Lucasfilm, at Disney, Jim Mangold, and the actors," Ford continues. "But I'm not going to miss Indy because he's fulfilled his purpose, and I'm really happy to have seen it come around to the end. I felt good. I felt that we had made a film that the audience deserved. For those people who had been fans of the earlier films, had enjoyed seeing them, had shared them with their families, I feel confident that we're going to knock their socks off with this one."

The most revered living film composer in the world, John Williams again leant his genius to the Indiana Jones franchise, composing the score for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny as he has for every installment in the series dating to Raiders of the Lost Ark.

"John Williams brings the special sauce to the movie-the music," says producer Frank Marshall. "The themes that he writes for these movies are so recognisable and so identifiable with the movie, it's just an amazing thing." Adds Mangold: "John Williams is a legend. He came up in the Golden Age of soundtracks. He played in the orchestras of Franz Waxman. He was a jazz musician in his 20s. He's run the Boston Pops. He's played around the world as a concert master. He's one of my real artistic heroes in filmmaking, and he's had such a profound and inspiring effect on so many careers and films."

The five-time Academy Award® winner and 53-time nominee John Williams (Jaws, Star Wars, E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial) was excited to write music that would not only amplify the excitement of Indy's last adventure, but would also underscore its most moving, deeply resonant emotional moments, including those at the very end of the film. "What I tried to do is bring an aspect of nostalgia into this piece," Williams says. "Indiana Jones is wonderful because Harrison Ford has this ability to do the most dramatic scenes with a slight tongue in his cheek or a twinkle in his eye. He does action-comedy dialogue as well as anybody ever could."

Although Williams initially agreed to write just a few themes for the new film, once he began composing the individual pieces, he soon decided to write the entirety of the score. "I didn't know if John would do the whole movie when I jumped on," Mangold says. "I only prayed."

Of all the new material he composed, Williams' theme for Helena is a stand-out, featuring the outstanding contributions of violin soloist Anne-Sophie Mutter. "Jim Mangold said to me, write a theme for Helena that's like some woman from the '40s or the '30s," Williams says. "She's adventurous with lovers here and there-all the while doing all these things looking ravishingly beautiful."

Notes Mangold of Williams' traditional, and exceptional, approach to his artistry: "John creates melodic themes for the characters all written with a pencil, all written with notes. So many composers now have the film on a video, and they use a synthesiser, and the midi on the synthesiser turns it into notes. Then they hand it to an arranger who turns that into an arranged piece for orchestra. It all sounds really good-but John's way sounds better."
