If you didn't get a chance to reunite with everyone's favourite whip-touting, snake-hating archaeologist in the cinema, you'll soon be able to watch Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny at home.

Released 42 years after the very first film, 1981's Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny sees Harrison Ford return to his famous role for another treasure-hunting, tomb-raiding, wise-cracking adventure — and this time, there's added Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

Now, the series' fifth instalment is coming to video on demand (VOD), so if you're keen for a night in with the professor, here's everything you need to know to watch it at home.

When and where is Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny releasing on streaming?

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny will be available to watch at home on Aug. 29. So far, it's only available to buy through VOD platforms including Apple TV, Google Play, and Prime Video. There's a little bonus in there with five behind-the-scenes featurettes, giving big DVD special features energy.

However, as a Disney release, Dial of Destiny will hit Disney+, but a streaming date is yet to be confirmed.

What is Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny about?

Directed by James Mangold, the fifth instalment of Steven Spielberg's adventure franchise connects Indy's past and present with a history-altering device, some de-ageing tech, and that glorious score.

Nearing retirement from his heady days of academic and archaeological adventuring, Dr. Henry "Indiana" Jones Jr. is ready to hang up his signature hat. But suddenly, he's reunited with his goddaughter Helena Shaw (Phoebe Waller-Bridge), whose father (Toby Jones) located Archimedes' Dial decades ago during World War II — there are scenes of digitally de-aged Ford as a young Indy that will send you right back to Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

With her young sidekick Teddy Kumar (Ethann Isidore) and Indy begrudgingly in tow, Helena's on the hunt for the device, which can alter the events of the past. But they're not the only ones after the dial, as Nazi scientist Jürgen Voller (Mads Mikkelsen) is hot on their heels. Their adventure will take them through New York, Tangier, Sicily, and more, through tombs, shipwrecks, car chases, and history itself.

Though Dial of Destiny faced trouble at the box office, the film was lauded by critics, including Mashable's film editor Kristy Puchko, who writes, "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny is a wondrous return to form for this franchise, as well as a wildly entertaining film fit for the whole family."

And folks, there's no post-credits scene, so once the film's done, you can go right back to your life not fighting villains atop speeding trains.

Who stars in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny?

Harrison Ford, of course, leads as our titular hero, alongside a truly welcome addition to the franchise, Phoebe Waller Bridge as Helena, with Ethann Isidore as her pickpocketing young friend Teddy. Mads Mikkelsen is characteristically superb donning his villain hat, while Toby Jones doesn't waste a second as Indy's Oxford professor pal Basil Shaw. Antonio Banderas steals his scenes up as frogman Renaldo, Indy's old mate and diving extraordinaire.

Familiar faces also return to the franchise including John Rhys-Davies as Sallah, who's hit the trail with Indiana in Raiders of the Lost Ark and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. And one of the biggest cameos in the film is that of Karen Allen as Marion Ravenwood, who first appeared in Raiders of the Lost Arc then returned for 2008's Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
