With the upcoming release of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (June 30), viewers will get to enjoy the fifth film in a storied franchise launched by Steven Spielberg more than 40 years ago. Spielberg has said he has a preoccupation with ordinary people who are pursued by large forces, and this sentiment is at the core of his storytelling, as seen in Jaws, in which a mismatched crew of three battle a giant shark, and in E.T., in which a little boy protects a gentle alien from grown-ups.
