THE FULL SCOPE
In the thrilling conclusion to the Indiana Jones series, “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” transports audiences on a breathtaking adventure through time, with jaw-dropping locations and unforgettable moments. Glasgow, Scotland skillfully doubled for New York in the film’s chase scene, recreated with intricate precision to mirror the U.S. of 1969. The Dial of Destiny’s home edition is packed with special features including behind-the-scenes documentaries and segments detailing various stunts and locations.
In “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny,” the last outing of Harrison Ford as the iconic adventurer, Disney pulled out all the stops to take Indy to astounding places. From a French Alps castle during Indy and Basil Shaw’s escapades to a 212 BC Roman siege of Syracuse, the film masterfully intermingles time periods to craft dazzling highlights for this farewell. One sequence that particularly stands out is Indy’s escape amidst a parade honoring the Apollo 11 mission. FilmSweep exclusively provides a fresh video that illustrates how director James Mangold and his team faithfully recreated 1969 for this striking sequence.
While the scene unfolds in New York, Mangold transported the crew to Glasgow, Scotland, where there was no lack of streets that, with a touch of magic, could impersonate the Big Apple. American flags adorned the windows, barricades were erected, and shops were refashioned to suit 1969 America in a period of soaring national pride. A detailed video reveals how the set was meticulously transformed, including the era-appropriate vehicles such as retro taxis and news vans. Oscar-winner Adam Stockhausen, famed for his work on “The Grand Budapest Hotel,” expressed the colossal size of the undertaking in the footage.
The enormity of filming this scene was matched only by the scale of the set itself, especially when constrained by the fact that they were shooting on a bustling Glasgow street. Besides nailing the larger elements, the art team meticulously replicated even the tiniest details, using building models they wanted to mirror. Every war protest sign, store front, advertisement, and more were handcrafted and intentionally aged to bring the world to life. The end result was a persuasive Manhattan, complete with a credible parade for Indy to gallop his horse through. Shaunette Renee Wilson heralded it as a high point in filming for The Dial of Destiny, and it indeed shines as a standout moment in the film’s final cut.

OMG, how did they even transform Glasgow into New York?? The art team deserves an award for sure.
Is it just me or does the idea of Archimedes’ Dial sound really cool? Time travel, Nazis, and Harrison Ford. Sign me up, now! Where can i pre-order?
Never knew Glasgow had streets that could pass for New York, it’s like travelling back in time just by watching the film. James Mangold rocks!!
The gadgetry and tech behind the scenes must be off the charts, wish they went into more detail bout that. Indy never disappoints though, eagerly waiting for Aug 29.
Can’t wait for the Dial of Destiny, been following Indiana Jones since I was a kid. the set design sounds amazing! Harrison Ford’s last ride, gonna be epic.
