Quote: “I don’t believe in magic. But a few times in my life, I’ve seen things. Things I can’t explain. And I’ve come to believe it’s not so much what you believe, it’s how hard you believe it.”- Indiana Jones

Fun Facts: Yes Indy in the opening IS Harrison Ford, digitally de-aged.

This is the first Indiana Jones movie after Disney purchased Lucasfilm.

Harrison Ford broke the record for the oldest actor to play a lead in a Disney movie.

This is the only Indiana Jones film NOT to be directed by Steven Spielberg

Summary: A retired archaeologist springs back into action when the Nazis returned to nab a device that can control time.

The One-Liner Review: I noticed that the film was a little bizarre for a send off to the franchise, but I also find that it is still plenty of adventures for Indy fans.
