Even after all these years, Indy’s still got it. In a heartwarming conclusion, Harrison Ford’s legendary character travels the world with his goddaughter. There will be spoilers ahead!
In “Indiana Jones and the Guardian of the Grail,” Indy’s story begins in his formative years during the Second World War. That’s when he first runs with Jürgen Voller, a Nazi who wants the same thing he does: Archimedes’ Dial. Indy and his friend Basil Shaw manage to steal half of the Dial and get away from the Nazis, but that’s not the end of the story. Fast forward 25 years, and the search for the Dial has only just begun.
In the course of 25 years, a lot may happen. After the death of their son, Mutt, in Vietnam, Indy and Marion divorced, and he eventually retired as a professor at Hunter College. In an unforeseen turn of events, Basil’s daughter and Indy’s goddaughter, Helena, absconds with the Dial. This sets Indy and Helena on a fantastic and far-reaching adventure, during which they battle Nazis and go back in time (very literally).
What happened at the end of Indiana Jones 5?
Voller is also seeking the Dial and travels along with Indy and Helena. They’re playing a game of cat and mouse with Voller, Indy, and Helena. The other piece of the Dial is located in Archimedes’ tomb, where Indy and Helena were searching for it. Regrettably, Voller and his thugs have caught up with them. After Indy is shot, the other half of the Dial falls into Voller’s hands.
To win World War II, Voller plans to utilize the whole Dial to go back in time. He hopes to right Hitler’s wrongs. Helena watches Voller and his crew as they remove a wounded Indy onboard their jet. She manages to sneak onto the plane.
When planning his time journey, Voller doesn’t consider continental drift. The plane can’t go back in time to 1939. They find themselves in the year 214 B.C., during the Siege of Syracuse when the Romans are invading Sicily. An aircraft catastrophe claims the lives of Voller and his trusted aide Klaber. The great Archimedes meets Voller and Klaber by chance. He steals the Dial and the watch from Voller.
Indy is blown away by the sights and thinks he loves 214 B.C. For him to change his mind, Helena begs. In the story, Archimedes runs into Indy and Helena. Time is running out for Indy and Helena to return to 1969 through the portal they discovered. Since Indy won’t budge from his determination to remain, Helena decides to do something about it on her own. So that she may transport Indy and Teddy back to their time, she strikes Indy senselessly.
When Indy comes to, he finds himself in 1969. He has the Dial on his side. If only Indy had stayed behind, he thinks, he could have altered history. Helena assures Indy, “You’re meant to be here.” For both herself and Marion.
Marion and Teddy visit Indy in his apartment. To allow Indy and Marion some space, Helena and Teddy leave them alone. They exchange some words at last. After all, they’ve gone through together, the last thing either of them wants is to spend the rest of their lives apart. When Indy and Marion finally meet again, they embrace passionately.
Since 1981, Harrison Ford has portrayed Indiana Jones. Over the course of 40 years, the protagonist has had his share of excitement. Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny is the appropriate send-off for the action hero, with Indy finally where he needs to be and reunited with Marion.
