Indiana Jones: 4-movie Collection

Description

All four films from the hugely popular ‘Indiana Jones’ series. In ‘Raiders of the Lost Ark’ (1981), set in 1936, archaeologist Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) has been charged with retrieving the Ark of the Covenant, which US intelligence believes contains the original Ten Commandments. Nazi agents are also on the trail, however, and it is up to Indy and old flame Marion Ravenwood (Karen Allen) to get to the Ark first. In ‘Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom’ (1984), set in 1935, Indy is forced to escape from some villains in a Shanghai nightclub with singer Willie Scott (Kate Capshaw) and 12-year-old Short Round (Ke Huy Quan). They end up in an Indian village, where the adventuring archaeologist is asked by the locals to retrieve a sacred stone from a Khali cult. In ‘Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade’ (1989) Indy comes up against the Nazis once again after they kidnap his father, fellow archaeologist Dr Henry Jones (Sean Connery). Father and son are soon putting family tensions to one side in a search for the Holy Grail, which the Nazis also want in order to achieve eternal life. Finally, ‘Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull’ (2008) is set at the height of Cold War paranoia during the 1950s and finds the intrepid archaeologist involved in a plot involving Soviet agents. They want Indy to find a legendary crystal skull that is said to grant the owner supernatural powers. Indy manages to escape from the Russians and soon he is in a race to find the skull, joined by young rebel, Mutt (Shia LaBeouf), the son of Indy’s one-time love, Marion. Meanwhile, the Soviet agents, led by the brilliant, ice-cold Irina Spalko (Cate Blanchett), are also hot on the trail. Can Indy get to the skull first, or will the Soviets achieve world domination?
