ABOUT INDIANA JONES
Indiana Jones, played by Harrison Ford, was first introduced in
the 1981 film "Raiders of the Lost Ark", set in 1936. He is
portrayed as an adventurous throwback to the 1930s film serial
treasure hunters and pulp action heroes, with an alter ego of
Doctor Jones, a respected archaeologist at Marshall College - a
fictional college in Connecticut. In this first adventure, he is
pitted against the Nazis, traveling the world to prevent them from
recovering the Ark of the Covenant. The Nazis are led by Jones's
archrival, a Nazi-sympathizing French archaeologist named René
Belloq, and Arnold Toht, a sinister Gestapo agent.
The 1984 prequel "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom",
set in 1935, took the character into a more horror-oriented story,
skipping his legitimate teaching job and globe trotting, and taking
place almost entirely in India. This time, Jones attempts to
recover children and a Sankara stone from the bloodthirsty Thuggee
cult.
The third film, 1989's "Indiana Jones and the Last
Crusade", set in 1938, returned to the formula of the original,
reintroducing characters such as Sallah and Marcus Brody, a scene
from Professor Jones's classroom (he now teaches at Barnett
College), the globe trotting element of multiple locations, and the
return of the infamous Nazi mystics, this time trying to find the
Holy Grail. The film's introduction, set in 1912, provided some
back story to the character, specifically his fear of snakes, his
use of a bullwhip, the origin of the scar on his chin, and the
source of his fedora hat, as well as his father. Although Lucas
intended at the time to do five films, this ended up being the last
for over eighteen years, as Lucas could not think of a good
MacGuffin to drive the next installment.
The fourth film, "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the
Crystal Skull", became the latest installment of the series on
May 22, 2008. Set in 1957, 19 years after the third film, it pits
an older, wiser Indiana Jones against Soviet agents bent on
harnessing the power of an ancient artifact. Again, viewers visit
the common theme of "nefarious villains obsessed with the
paranormal". In this installment, the plot revolves around a
mysterious crystal skull that is discovered in South America by
Harold Oxley (John Hurt), a colleague of Professor Jones. He is
aided in his adventure by an old lover, Marion Ravenwood (Karen
Allen), and a young greaser named Mutt Williams (Shia LaBeouf).
