The 2023 film "Indiana Jones and the the Dial of Destiny" is the fifth of the "Indiana Jones" films about the archaeologist and adventurer. The film stars Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones and Phoebe Waller-Bridge as Helena Shaw, a young English woman who accompanies Indiana on his latest adventure, recovering a device invented by the ancient Greek mathematician Archimedes more than 2,000 years ago. The device, called the "Antikythera Mechanism" or the "Antikythera" resembles a clock and is believed to enable time-travel by locating "time fissures". The first part of the film is set in 1944 when Indiana battles Nazis for the device. The film then moves to 1969 where he meets Helena Shaw whose father worked with Indiana in 1944. She also wants the device and they spend most of the film in car chases, gun battles, and finally travelling to Syracuse to locate the grave of Archimedes to recover parts of the device. Indiana and Helena uncover the stone coffin and find the remains of Archimedes. The skull has two coins placed on the eyes which is an ancient Greek custom. The coins appear to be large and corroded.

In 1944 Indiana Jones (Professor Henry Jones Jr.) is on a German train taking stolen loot from France to Germany. He is wearing a German officer's uniform and is captured by soldiers who find his bag.

Indiana usually wears a fedora felt hat and carries a whip. He captured by the soldiers and escapes, arriving in a train compartment carrying loot.

Basil Shaw (Toby Jones), Indiana's partner, is also captured and they hear that the Germans have part of the Antikythera on the train. The two men are questioned by Jurgen Voller (Mads Mikkelsen), a Nazi officer and scientist who is also interested in the Antikythera. After another battle on the train Indiana and Basil escape with the device part which Basil gives to Indiana.

The film moves to 1969 where Indiana Jones, aged around 70, is retiring from his position as a college professor. He lives in a run-down New York City apartment. His son Mutt has died and his wife Marion is divorcing him.

Professor Jones is given a small clock as a retirement present.

Helena Shaw, the daughter of Basil Shaw, introduces herself to Indiana and they talk about her father. Indiana still has the part he took from the Nazis and the pair launch a hunt for the remaining parts. Jurgen Voller has been working for the American National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) as a scientist on the Apollo moon landing program. He has retired from NASA and is also hunting for the Antikythera device. He has acquired some younger henchmen to assist him. Most of the film involves car chases, diving adventures, and gun battles between Indiana's group, Voller's group, and others who want the device. Indiana finds a part on a shipwreck and later locate Archimedes' tomb in the city of Syracuse on the island of Sicily. Indiana and Helena see a statue of the Greek goddess Athena.

The statue means that they are near the tomb. The find the tomb encased in marble.

Indiana and Helena uncover the stone coffin and find the remains of Archimedes.

The skull has two coins placed on the eyes which is an ancient Greek custom. The coins appear to be large coins, corroded and covered with dust, which makes them hard to identify. They are probably copies of ancient Greek coins.

Indiana and Helena find the device part but unfortunately Voller's men find them. Voller owns a flyable German airplane and takes his men aboard. He uses the Antikythera device to predict where a "time fissure" is located and intends to travel to Berlin in the year 1939 and assassinate Adolf Hitler whom be believes to be incompetent. Helena has two friends who own a small airplane and they follow the German plane which has Indiana and Helena on it. Both airplanes fly through the time fissure and land in Syracuse in the year BC 212 or 213 during the Roman siege of the city.

The German airplane is hit by Roman missiles. Indiana puts on a parachute, grabs Helena, and they land in the battle. The airplane crashes killing the rest of the crew.

Indiana has the device and Archimedes tells him (in Greek which Indiana understands) that the device was "programmed" to only take one to Syracuse during the siege. The small airplane lands, picks up Indiana and Helena, and takes them back through the time fissure to 1969. Helena brings Indiana's wife Marion to see him and then leaves.
