00:00 In a wall of autograph hunters clamoring for attention, you've got to look the part to stand out.

00:05 And not just one, but a row of Identikit Indies lining London's Leicester Square

00:10 for the very last crusade for eight-year-old Harrison Ford and the Indiana Jones franchise.

00:15 Forty years since his first appearance, the world-famous archaeologist may be past his prime, but that's the point.

00:22 "We know him from the beginning, you know, when he was about 40 years old, and we know him when he's 80 years old. Cool."

00:36 Film buffs say The Dial of Destiny is a rush of romanticism.

00:39 "If I pull your seatbelt, there might be some tablets."

00:43 While it might not be as thrilling as earlier adventures, there's still a few cinematic gems.

00:48 And...

00:49 "And now, a final triumph."

00:51 More explosions than you can shake a stick at.

00:54 The movie's co-star is Britain's Golden Globe-winning actress Phoebe Waller-Bridge,

00:58 a lifelong indie fan who wasn't yet born when the first movie came out.

01:03 "I'm just living in this moment, in Harrison's moment, in the moment of this movie."

01:07 It's the first of the franchise not directed by Steven Spielberg.

01:10 US director James Mangold, behind the Oscar-winning Walk the Line, takes it on.

01:15 But it's bound to be remembered as Harrison's swan song.

01:18 "I'm retiring."

01:19 "Well, in that case, what are we drinking?"

01:20 "Same for the goddaughters."

01:22 His own story worthy of a Hollywood script.

01:24 A former carpenter who met George Lucas while fixing a door.

01:27 "A dial that could change the course of history."

01:29 It changed his course of history.

01:31 Four decades on, finally hangs up his hat after this last crack of the whip.

01:36 "I need to get out of here."
