The fifth and final film in the Indiana Jones series is released this week. The story mostly takes place in 1969, when Indy's on the verge of retirement. He's hunting for something called the Dial of Archimedes, which is a kind of ancient calculator. His enemy this time is a Nazi physicist who's been enlisted in America's moon landing program.
