The original Indiana Jones films were a thrilling escape into an imaginative world where an academic — an archaeologist — was as captivating and charismatic as any muscle-clad '80s action hero. Director Steven Spielberg crafted the franchise as a tribute to the pulp serials of the early 20th century, imbuing the films with a sense of exploration, adventure, and excitement.

Harrison Ford reprises his role as the cavalier archaeologist, attired in his signature fedora, leather jacket, and whip. Opening with a flashback set amid the latter moments of World War II, the prologue features a CGI de-aged Harrison Ford. Through computer gimmickry, the digitized avatar of Ford’s younger self barrels through a Nazi freight train in search of a lost relic. It is here that he first comes across Archimedes’s fabled Dial, the object that sets the plot in motion.

It is only when his goddaughter, Helena Shaw , resurfaces in his life that Ford is dragged back into his daring escapades. Waller-Bridge, best known for her fourth-wall flirtations in the inventive dark comedy Fleabag, is a brilliant comedy writer and actress. But a natural action movie heroine she is not.

Inexplicably intertwined in this world of crime, Shaw first feigns interest in her godfather’s work to get closer to the Dial, hoping to pawn it off to pay her debts. The plot evidently needed a character arc through which to build their relationship, as through the first two-thirds of the film she routinely admonishes and undermines Indiana in a harsh, resentful tone.
