“The Adventure of a Lifetime” is coming home, as Lucasfilm and Disney have announced that Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny will be making their digital debut on August 29th through select digital retailers. The final chapter in the Indiana Jones saga will be available for digital purchase from major digital marketplaces that include Vudu, Apple TV, and Amazon Prime Video.
The exclusive digital release will also include never-before-seen bonus content, which includes five chapters that take viewers on the adventure of the making of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. As said in the official Disney Movies press release, “Join the cast and crew on an epic, globe-trotting adventure showcasing new characters, stunts, music, locations, production design, and visual effects”. The effects, which have been teased over the past few months this summer, include the impressive and painstaking work of digital creators’ vFX done to digitally de-age Harrison Ford for the iconic “Germany 1944” prologue of Indiana Jones Dial of Destiny.

The news of a digital release also sparks questions among fans on when a physical release, if any, will be announced. This includes the fan fervor around the possibility of a new Complete Adventures of Indiana Jones box set, which will include remastered and 4K releases of all 5 Indiana Jones films in a single, limited series collection.
This also does not include an almost certain reveal of Dial of Destiny’s Disney+ debut. We can hope this digital announcement is just the first news to come for Indiana Jones and the future of its home release, especially as fans around the world have come together! In the meantime, fans can still catch Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny nationwide in select theaters for a limited time.
