Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny was released 42 years after Raiders of the Lost Ark, and the Indiana Jones franchise has lasted more than half of Harrison Ford's lifetime. The Indiana Jones series sees the titular archeologist on globetrotting adventures to retrieve supernatural relics, and while the 2023 release had a mixed reception, it was exciting to see Ford, back as Indy.
Harrison Ford Is 38 Years Old In Raiders Of The Lost Ark Raiders of the Lost Ark's shoot began in June 1980, which meant that Harrison was 37 years old when he started filming the movie, the same age as Indiana Jones himself. However, as principal photography continued until September and lasted for 72 days, Ford is 38 years old in most of the scenes. Nevertheless, despite being at his youngest, healthiest, and most nimble, Ford still suffered from amoebic dysentery while shooting in Egypt.
Harrison Ford Is 45 Years Old In The Last Crusade Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade arrived in 1989, five years after Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Principal photography began in May 1989 , two months before Ford turned 46. Filming with the main cast wrapped filming in early August, so Ford is 46 years old in the scenes shot in Venice.
Harrison Ford Is 65 Years Old In The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was released in 2008, almost 20 years after Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. While Indy had a perfect ending in the 1989 movie, as he literally rode off into the sunset with his father and his two closest allies, the archaeologist returned for one of the first major legacy sequels of the 21st century.
