Weber, as an airline official, intervenes on behalf of Indy, Willie, and Short Round, vouching for them and ensuring they board the plane before military police can intervene. The airline’s role is functional (providing a means of escape) and narrative (highlighting the group’s reliance on external allies).

Let them through please.’), and their power dynamics are those of a logistical ally with limited authority. The organization’s goals in this event are to facilitate the group’s escape and maintain operational integrity, while their influence mechanisms include Weber’s intervention, protocol adherence, and the airline’s history of accommodating Indy’s ‘special circumstances.’
