One has to wonder if the temptation to alter time will also impact our main protagonist. The question is, if you can control time, like in Back to the Future, would you change things? And what would that mean? That’s a big question for everybody, and certainly is in the movie. Well, I guess it’s scientific! It really works for what we are doing and it sets up a whole lot of great plot points.
It works in the plot because it is scientific.
As for whether using the dial qualifies as this franchise delving back into sci-fi, which was among the polarizing elements of The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, the producer had this to say: As could be inferred, Frank Marshall made it clear that Voller intends to use the dial to go back and change the timeline so that Nazi Germany won the war. Although The Dial of Destiny opens with a World War II-set action sequence featuring a digitally de-aged Harrison Ford, the main storyline takes place in 1969, when Jürgen Voller has been recruited to NASA’s moon landing program.

While the origins of the dial will be saved for the movie itself, it should be pretty clear that it getting in the hands of a former Nazi is bad news. It turned out to be the perfect thing for this movie. We always try and have some sort of archaeological connection and there was certainly that – there’s a mythology to the Dial of Destiny that exists.
The Dial of Destiny is perfect for us because it’s about time. The Dial of Destiny trailer released in April teased the use of time travel with a line of dialogue from Mads Mikkelsen’s Jürgen Voller, the main antagonist: “Hitler made mistakes, and with this, I will correct them all.” Sure enough, Marshall explained to SFX Magazine how the dial can be used to change the timeline, but don’t go thinking this particular artifact will stand out like a sore thumb compared to its predecessors.
