"Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny" Plot

Details of the fifth Indiana Jones film are limited. Judging by the trailer, the film will start off focusing on an older Indiana Jones who has left behind his days of adventure — only to be pulled into a new conflict. The 2008 film "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" was set in 1957 and followed the character as he fought against the Soviet KGB, but it's currently unclear who his new opponent will be.

In January 2021, "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny" director James Mangold hinted at the film's setting in a tweet, writing in part, "I'm mentally living in '60s NYC right now cause that's where all the movies I'm working on take place."

Though details of the plot could have changed, there's a chance Indiana Jones's next adventure will take place in New York City during the 1960s — and the trailer hints at this, featuring a series of shots of the Big Apple.
