Long-awaited (and we really mean that, it’s been 19 years since the last instalment) return of Steven Spielberg’s old-fashioned action hero. Can Harrison Ford cut the mustard in this spectacular adventure at the age of 65? Set in 1957, this fourth film in the series sees Indiana Jones battling agents of the Soviet Union led by Cate Blanchett in the search for a crystal skull. Back to help him for the first time since Raiders of the Lost Ark is Karen Allen. Fresh support comes from fellow archaeologist Ray Winstone while John Hurt and Jim Broadbent appear as academics.
