Indiana Jones is older and greyer - can he still wow the crowds and sell tickets?
The plot: Professor Jones (Harrison Ford), the adventurer-cum-archaeologist, returns to action after he meets a young renegade (Shia LaBeouf) who claims he can help locate one of the most spectacular archaeological myths in history - the legendary Crystal Skull of Akator.
The pair ventures into the remote corners of Peru and quickly realise they are not alone - agents from the Soviet Union also want to lay hands on the skull, which is said to have magical powers which could help them conquer the world.
The star: Onscreen action heroes aren't supposed to grow old - but the increasingly wrinkly Ford is showing his age.
But the 65-year-old star is irreplaceable as Jones. Ford was born to play Indiana Jones, just as his one-time onscreen father Sean Connery was born to be the coolest James Bond.
According to the film's director Steven Spielberg, 'Harrison is at home in the skin of Indiana Jones'; and the actor is the key factor in making the franchise successful.
Rather than trying to keep Jones young, he has been allowed to age gracefully. The new movie is set in 1957, 19 years after Jones' last adventure (Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade) and therefore parallels the years between the films.
