The fifth chapter of the saga created by George Lucas , who marked an era by recounting - for generations now - the ups and downs of the fearless archeology professor and adventurer in situations bordering on the edge between the thrill of discovery and the constant sense of danger , is back recently in the spotlight with a short but suggestive trailer presented in great triumph at this year's Super Bowl, and the release in cinemas around the world scheduled for June 30th .

Among the various news, some rumors about the budget invested for the realization of this last chapter have recently emerged on the net.

According to the American magazine Forbes, the total cost for the making of the film would correspond to the impressive figure of 294.7 million dollars, de facto decreeing it as the eighth most expensive film in history behind only giants such as "Avatar", "Avengers : Infinity War” and “Avengers: Endgame”, to name just a few.

First of all the novelties is the direction no longer by Steven Spielberg , to whom we owe the realization of the previous chapters, but delivered - with all its heavy responsibilities - into the hands of director James Mangold . As we already know, barring unpredictable surprises, this will be the last time that Harrison Ford will play the lead role . At his side we will find Mads Mikkelsen (Fantastic Beasts: Dumbledore's secrets) - in the role of villain - Phoebe Waller Bridge (Fleabag), Boyd Holbrook (Logan), Thomas Kretschmann (Das Boot), Toby Jones (Jurasic World: Fallen Kingdom ), Antonio Banderas (Pain and Glory) and John Rhys-Davies (The Goonies).

The film was produced by Kathleen Kennedy, Frank Marshall and Simon Emanuel , Steven Spielberg and George Lucas are instead the executive producers. The screenplay is the result of a four-handed operation by brothers Jez and John-Henry Butterworth . Last but not least, the soundtrack is once again signed by John Williams , who evokes with his compositions the fantastic atmospheres that have made the fortune of the franchise since the first episode in 1981.

In 1969, Jones discovers that the United States government has used ex-Nazi soldiers to win the battle against the Soviet Union to establish itself as ruler of space. From these bases the professor will come across a new journey together with his goddaughter Helena, but the plans to redefine the world order perpetrated by Voller - an ex-Nazi scientist involved in NASA's moon landing program - will put the new duo in serious difficulty.
