read the image description | IN 1936, AMERICAN ARCHAEOLOGIST INDIANA JONES RECOVERS A GOLDEN IDOL FROM A BOOBY-TRAPPED PERUVIAN TEMPLE. RIVAL ARCHAEOLOGIST RENÉ BELLOQ CORNERS HIM AND STEALS THE IDOL; JONES ESCAPES IN A WAITING FLOAT PLANE. AFTER RETURNING TO THE UNITED STATES, JONES IS BRIEFED BY TWO ARMY INTELLIGENCE AGENTS THAT NAZI GERMAN FORCES ARE EXCAVATING AT TANIS, EGYPT, AND ONE OF THEIR TELEGRAMS MENTIONS JONES' FORMER MENTOR ABNER RAVENWOOD. JONES DEDUCES THAT THE NAZIS ARE SEEKING THE ARK OF THE COVENANT, WHICH ADOLF HITLER BELIEVES WILL MAKE THEIR ARMY INVINCIBLE. THE AGENTS RECRUIT JONES TO RECOVER THE ARK FIRST. AT A BAR IN NEPAL, JONES REUNITES WITH ABNER'S DAUGHTER MARION, WITH WHOM JONES ONCE HAD AN ILLICIT RELATIONSHIP, AND LEARNS THAT ABNER IS DEAD. THE BAR IS SET ABLAZE DURING A SCUFFLE WITH GESTAPO AGENT ARNOLD TOHT, WHO ARRIVES TO TAKE A MEDALLION FROM MARION. TOHT ATTEMPTS TO RECOVER THE MEDALLION FROM THE FLAMES, BUT ONLY BURNS ITS IMAGE INTO HIS HAND. JONES AND MARION SAFELY TAKE THE MEDALLION AND ESCAPE. TRAVELING TO CAIRO, THE PAIR MEET JONES'S FRIEND SALLAH. SALLAH REVEALS BELLOQ IS ASSISTING THE NAZIS, WHO HAVE FASHIONED AN INCOMPLETE REPLICA MEDALLION FROM THE BURNS ON TOHT'S HAND. NAZI SOLDIERS AND MERCENARIES ATTACK JONES, AND MARION IS SEEMINGLY KILLED, LEAVING JONES DESPONDENT. AN IMAM DECIPHERS THE MEDALLION FOR JONES, REVEALING THAT ONE SIDE BEARS A WARNING AGAINST DISTURBING THE ARK, AND THE OTHER BEARS THE COMPLETE MEASUREMENTS FOR THE "STAFF OF RA", AN ITEM USED TO LOCATE THE ARK. JONES AND SALLAH REALIZE THAT THE NAZIS ARE DIGGING IN THE WRONG LOCATION, INFILTRATE THE NAZI DIG SITE, AND USE THE MEDALLION AND THE CORRECTLY SIZED STAFF OF RA TO LOCATE THE WELL OF SOULS, THE ARK'S RESTING PLACE. THEY RECOVER THE ARK, A GOLDEN, INTRICATELY DECORATED CHEST, BUT BELLOQ AND THE NAZIS DISCOVER THEM AND SEIZE IT. JONES AND MARION, WHOM BELLOQ HAS HELD CAPTIVE, ARE SEALED INSIDE THE WELL, BUT THE PAIR ESCAPE AND JONES CAPTURES A TRUCK CARRYING THE ARK. ALONGSIDE MARION, JONES ARRANGES TO TRANSPORT THE ARK TO LONDON ABOARD A TRAMP STEAMER. A GERMAN U-BOAT INTERCEPTS THE STEAMER AND SEIZES THE ARK AND MARION; JONES COVERTLY BOARDS THE U-BOAT. THE VESSEL TRAVELS TO AN ISLAND IN THE AEGEAN SEA, WHERE BELLOQ INTENDS TO TEST THE POWER OF THE ARK BEFORE PRESENTING IT TO HITLER. ON THE ISLAND, JONES AMBUSHES THE NAZI GROUP AND THREATENS TO DESTROY THE ARK BUT SURRENDERS AFTER BELLOQ DEDUCES THAT JONES WOULD NEVER DESTROY SOMETHING SO HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT, ALSO SURMISING THAT JONES WANTS TO KNOW IF THE ARK'S POWER IS REAL. THE NAZIS RESTRAIN JONES AND MARION AT THE TESTING SITE AS BELLOQ CEREMONIALLY OPENS THE ARK BUT FINDS ONLY SAND INSIDE. AT JONES' INSTRUCTION, HE AND MARION CLOSE THEIR EYES TO AVOID LOOKING AT THE OPENED ARK, AS IT RELEASES SPIRITS, FLAMES, AND BOLTS OF ENERGY THAT KILL BELLOQ, TOHT, AND THE ASSEMBLED NAZIS BEFORE SEALING ITSELF SHUT. JONES AND MARION OPEN THEIR EYES TO FIND THE AREA CLEARED OF BODIES AND THEIR BINDINGS REMOVED. BACK IN WASHINGTON, D.C., THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT REWARDS JONES FOR SECURING THE ARK. DESPITE JONES' INSISTENCE, THE AGENTS STATE ONLY THAT THE ARK HAS BEEN MOVED TO AN UNDISCLOSED LOCATION FOR "TOP MEN" TO STUDY. IN A VAST WAREHOUSE, THE ARK IS CRATED UP AND STORED AMONG COUNTLESS OTHER CRATES. IN 1935, AMERICAN ARCHEOLOGIST INDIANA JONES SURVIVES A MURDER ATTEMPT FROM SHANGHAI CRIME BOSS LAO CHE, WHO HIRED HIM TO RETRIEVE THE REMAINS OF NURHACI. INDY FLEES FROM THE CITY ACCOMPANIED BY HIS YOUNG ORPHAN SIDEKICK SHORT ROUND AND NIGHTCLUB SINGER WILLIE SCOTT, UNAWARE THAT THE PLANE THEY ARE TRAVELING ON IS OWNED BY CHE. THE PLANE'S PILOTS DUMP THE FUEL AND PARACHUTE AWAY, BUT INDY, WILLIE AND SHORT ROUND ESCAPE USING AN INFLATABLE RAFT BEFORE THE PLANE CRASHES. THE TRIO RIDE DOWN THE SLOPES OF THE HIMALAYAS AND FALL INTO A RIVER BEFORE ARRIVING AT THE INDIAN VILLAGE OF MAYAPORE. THERE, THE VILLAGERS PLEAD FOR INDY'S AID IN RETRIEVING A SACRED LINGAM STONE STOLEN ALONG WITH THE VILLAGE'S CHILDREN BY EVIL FORCES FROM THE NEARBY PANKOT PALACE. INDY AGREES TO DO SO, HYPOTHESIZING THAT THE STONE IS ONE OF THE FIVE SANKARA STONES GIVEN BY THE HINDU GODS TO HELP HUMANITY FIGHT EVIL. TRAVELING TO THE PALACE, THE TRIO ARE WARMLY WELCOMED AND ALLOWED TO STAY FOR THE NIGHT AS GUESTS, ATTENDING A BANQUET HOSTED BY THE PALACE'S YOUNG MAHARAJA. DURING THE NIGHT, INDY IS ATTACKED BY AN ASSASSIN, BUT MANAGES TO KILL HIM. HE DISCOVERS A SERIES OF TUNNELS UNDERNEATH THE PALACE AND EXPLORES THEM WITH WILLIE AND SHORT ROUND. THE TRIO EVENTUALLY REACHES A MASSIVE TEMPLE WHERE THEY UNCOVER THUGGEE CULTISTS CONDUCTING A HUMAN SACRIFICE. THE CULT, WHICH POSSESSES THREE SANKARA STONES, IS REVEALED TO HAVE ABDUCTED THE CHILDREN OF MAYAPORE, USING THEM AS SLAVE LABOR TO FIND THE REMAINING STONES. DURING AN ATTEMPT TO RETRIEVE THE STONES, INDY IS CAPTURED ALONGSIDE WILLIE AND SHORT ROUND. THUGGEE HIGH PRIEST MOLA RAM FORCES INDY TO DRINK A POTION THAT PLACES HIM INTO A TRANCE-LIKE STATE, WHICH MAKES INDY PREPARE WILLIE FOR SACRIFICE. SHORT ROUND IS BRIEFLY ENSLAVED IN THE TUNNELS, BUT HE ESCAPES AND INTERCEPTS WILLIE'S SACRIFICE BY FREEING INDY FROM HIS TRANCE, WHO RESCUES WILLIE IN TURN. THE TRIO DEFEAT MULTIPLE CULTISTS, COLLECT THE SANKARA STONES AND FREE THE CHILDREN. AFTER ESCAPING AN ATTEMPT BY MOLA RAM TO DROWN THEM, THE TRIO CROSSES A ROPE BRIDGE ABOVE A RIVER. MOLA RAM AMBUSHES THEM AGAIN, LEADING INDY TO CUT THE BRIDGE IN TWO, CAUSING A NUMBER OF CULTISTS TO FALL INTO THE CROCODILE-INFESTED WATER BELOW. AS INDY, WILLIE, SHORT ROUND, AND MOLA RAM STRUGGLE TO CLIMB UP THE BROKEN BRIDGE, INDY INVOKES THE NAME OF SHIVA, PROMPTING THE STONES TO BURN THROUGH HIS SATCHEL. ONE STONE BURNS MOLA RAM AND HE FALLS TO THE RIVER, WHERE HE IS DEVOURED BY THE CROCODILES. BRITISH INDIAN ARMY SOLDIERS ARRIVE AND DEFEAT THE REMAINING CULTISTS, AND INDY, WILLIE, AND SHORT ROUND RETURN TO MAYAPORE TO HAND OVER THEIR LAST REMAINING STONE. AS THE VILLAGERS ARE REUNITED WITH THEIR CHILDREN, INDY AND WILLIE EMBRACE. IN 1912, BOY SCOUT INDIANA JONES LIVES WITH HIS FATHER HENRY JONES SR. IN MOAB, UTAH. ONE DAY, WHILE UNDERGOING A CAVE EXPLORATION, INDY TAKES A CRUCIFIX OWNED BY CORONADO FROM A GROUP OF GRAVEROBBERS LED BY A MAN NAMED GARTH, AND AFTER A BRIEF HORSE CHASE, FLEES TO HIS HOME, WHERE GARTH AND HIS MEN FIND HIM AND RETRIEVE THE CRUCIFIX. GARTH, HOWEVER, ADMITS HIS RESPECT TOWARDS INDIANA AND GIVES HIM HIS FEDORA BEFORE LEAVING. IN 1938, INDY SUCCESSFULLY TAKES BACK THE CRUCIFIX FROM THE EMPLOYER OF THE GRAVEROBBERS OFF THE PORTUGUESE COAST. AFTER RETURNING TO THE UNITED STATES, INDY LEARNS HENRY HAS DISAPPEARED WHILE SEARCHING FOR THE HOLY GRAIL. WALTER DONOVAN, HIS FATHER'S FINANCIAL BACKER, TASKS INDY WITH FINDING BOTH HENRY AND THE GRAIL. INDY RECEIVES A PACKAGE CONTAINING HENRY'S DIARY, WHICH INCLUDES HIS RESEARCH ON THE GRAIL, AND TRAVELS TO VENICE ALONGSIDE MARCUS BRODY TO MEET HENRY'S ASSOCIATE ELSA SCHNEIDER. BENEATH THE LIBRARY WHERE HENRY WAS LAST SEEN, INDY AND ELSA DISCOVER A CATACOMB CONTAINING AN INSCRIBED SHIELD WHICH REVEALS THAT THE PATH TO THE GRAIL BEGINS IN ALEXANDRETTA. THE TWO ARE SUBSEQUENTLY ATTACKED BY A MYSTERIOUS GROUP WHO REVEAL THEMSELVES TO BE THE SECRET BROTHERHOOD OF THE CRUCIFORM SWORD, DEDICATED TO PROTECTING THE GRAIL. AFTER SAVING THE GROUP'S LEADER KAZIM, INDY LEARNS THAT HENRY IS BEING HELD AT A CASTLE IN AUSTRIA. INDY ENTRUSTS MARCUS WITH A MAP FROM THE DIARY DETAILING A ROUTE TO THE GRAIL AND SENDS HIM TO ALEXANDRETTA TO RENDEZVOUS WITH THEIR OLD FRIEND SALLAH. DISCOVERING THEIR ROOMS HAVE BEEN RANSACKED, INDY REVEALS THE DIARY'S EXISTENCE TO ELSA BEFORE THEY SLEEP TOGETHER. IN AUSTRIA, INDY AND ELSA INFILTRATE THE CASTLE, DISCOVERING IT TO BE UNDER NAZI CONTROL. INDY FINDS HENRY AND TRIES TO ESCAPE, BUT SURRENDERS AFTER ELSA IS HELD CAPTIVE BY THE NAZIS. SHE REVEALS HERSELF TO BE A NAZI COLLABORATOR AND TAKES THE DIARY, AND INDY AND HENRY ARE TIED UP AND LEARN THAT DONOVAN IS ALSO WORKING WITH THE NAZIS. AFTER ARRIVING IN ALEXANDRETTA, MARCUS IS CAPTURED BY THE NAZIS AS WELL. ELSA RETURNS TO GERMANY, WHILE INDY AND HENRY ESCAPE THE CASTLE BEFORE TRAVELING TO BERLIN TO RETRIEVE THE DIARY. AFTER RECOVERING IT FROM ELSA, INDY AND HENRY FLEE ON A ZEPPELIN BEFORE EVADING TWO LUFTWAFFE PLANES PURSUING THEM. ONCE INDY AND HENRY ARRIVE IN HATAY, SALLAH INFORMS THEM THAT THE NAZIS HAVE ALSO TRAVELED THERE USING THE MAP. WHILE THEY ARE FOLLOWING THE TRAIL, THE NAZIS ARE ATTACKED BY THE BROTHERHOOD BUT DEFEAT THEM. HENRY TAKES ADVANTAGE OF THE DISTRACTION TO TRY TO RESCUE MARCUS BUT IS CAPTURED; INDY ATTACKS THE NAZI CONVOY IN RESPONSE AND IS EVENTUALLY ABLE TO DESTROY IT WITH HELP FROM HENRY AND MARCUS. INDY, HENRY, MARCUS AND SALLAH PROCEED TO A TEMPLE CONTAINING THE GRAIL, WHERE THEY OBSERVE THE NAZIS ATTEMPTING TO OVERCOME THE TEMPLE'S TRAPS BEFORE BEING CAPTURED. DONOVAN FORCES INDY TO FIND SAFE PASSAGE FOR THEM BY MORTALLY WOUNDING HENRY; A DRINK FROM THE GRAIL CAN HEAL HIM. WITH THE HELP OF THE DIARY, INDY OVERCOMES THE TRAPS AND FINDS A ROOM WITH MANY CUPS AND AN ANCIENT KNIGHT, WHO EXPLAINS THAT ONLY ONE CUP IS THE TRUE GRAIL. DONOVAN AND ELSA ENTER THE ROOM, AND ELSA DELIBERATELY GIVES HIM THE WRONG CUP, KILLING DONOVAN AFTER HE DRINKS FROM IT. INDY IDENTIFIES THE TRUE GRAIL AND RESCUES HENRY. ELSA FALLS TO HER DEATH WHEN HER ATTEMPT TO LEAVE WITH THE GRAIL CAUSES THE TEMPLE TO COLLAPSE, AND INDY NEARLY SUFFERS THE SAME FATE BEFORE HENRY SAVES HIM. THE GRAIL FALLS INTO AN ABYSS AS INDY AND HIS COMPANIONS ESCAPE AND RIDE OFF INTO THE SUNSET. IN 1957, SOVIET AGENTS LED BY COLONEL DOCTOR IRINA SPALKO KIDNAP AMERICAN ARCHEOLOGIST INDIANA JONES AND HIS PARTNER GEORGE "MAC" MCHALE. THEY INFILTRATE HANGAR 51 IN NEVADA AND USE JONES TO LOCATE A MUMMIFIED ALIEN FROM THE ROSWELL INCIDENT. JONES LOCATES THE MUMMY BEFORE BEING DOUBLE-CROSSED BY MAC, BUT ESCAPES TO A NEARBY MODEL TOWN AT THE NEVADA TEST SITE, MINUTES BEFORE AN ATOMIC BOMB TEST. HE SURVIVES THE BLAST IN A LEAD-LINED REFRIGERATOR IN ONE OF THE TOWN'S MOCK HOUSES BEFORE BEING RESCUED AND INTERROGATED BY THE FBI. RETURNING TO MARSHALL COLLEGE, JONES DISCOVERS HE HAS BEEN PLACED ON AN INDEFINITE LEAVE OF ABSENCE. MUTT WILLIAMS, A YOUNG GREASER, APPROACHES JONES AND INFORMS HIM THAT HIS FORMER COLLEAGUE, HAROLD "OX" OXLEY, FOUND A CRYSTAL SKULL IN PERU IN SEARCH OF THE MYTHICAL CITY AKATOR. SOVIET AGENTS ATTEMPT TO CAPTURE THEM, BUT THE TWO ESCAPE AND TRAVEL TO PERU. THERE, THEY FIND CARVINGS MADE BY OX WHICH LEAD THE PAIR TO THE GRAVE OF FRANCISCO DE ORELLANA, WHICH CONTAINS AN ELONGATED CRYSTAL SKULL. LEAVING THE GRAVE, THE TWO ARE CAPTURED BY THE SOVIETS AND TAKEN TO A CAMP IN THE AMAZON RAINFOREST. THEY ARE REUNITED WITH MAC, SPALKO, AN ADDLED OX, AND MUTT'S MOTHER, MARION RAVENWOOD, WHO INFORMS JONES THAT MUTT IS HIS SON. SPALKO TELLS JONES THAT THE SKULLS ARE ALIEN IN ORIGIN AND INTENDS TO USE THEM TO PROJECT SOVIET PROPAGANDA INTO THE MINDS OF AMERICANS. JONES HAS A BRIEF TELEPATHIC CONNECTION TO THE SKULL, WHICH COMMANDS HIM TO RETURN IT TO AKATOR. JONES REALIZES THAT OX IS ATTEMPTING TO COMMUNICATE THROUGH AUTOMATIC WRITING, DISCOVERING A ROUTE TO THE CITY. WHILE EN ROUTE TO AKATOR, JONES RETAKES THE SKULL FROM THE SOVIETS AND ESCAPES FROM THEM ALONGSIDE MARION, OX, MUTT AND MAC, WHO CLAIMS TO BE A DOUBLE AGENT, ALL THE WHILE LEAVING A TRAIL FOR SPALKO. JONES AND HIS COMPANIONS LOCATE AKATOR, WHERE THEY LEARN THAT THE SKULL BELONGED TO ONE OF THIRTEEN "INTERDIMENSIONAL BEINGS" WHOM THE EARLY UGHA TRIBES WORSHIPPED AS DEITIES. SPALKO CATCHES UP AND RETURNS THE SKULL TO ITS SKELETON, WHICH COMES TO LIFE AND OFFERS SPALKO THE REWARD OF OMNISCIENCE. AS AN INTERDIMENSIONAL PORTAL OPENS ABOVE THE CHAMBER, ABDUCTING MAC AND SPALKO’S REMAINING SOLDIERS, THE SKELETONS COMBINE INTO A REANIMATED ALIEN, WHO TRANSFERS AN OVERWHELMING AMOUNT OF KNOWLEDGE INTO SPALKO'S MIND, VAPORIZING HER. JONES, OX, MARION AND MUTT ESCAPE THE CRUMBLING CITY AS A FLYING SAUCER RISES FROM THE RUINS AND DEPARTS FOR ANOTHER DIMENSION. AS OX REGAINS HIS SANITY, JONES AND HIS PARTY RETURN TO THE UNITED STATES WHERE HE IS REINSTATED AT MARSHALL COLLEGE AND PROMOTED TO ASSOCIATE DEAN. JONES AND MARION MARRY EACH OTHER. TOWARDS THE END OF WORLD WAR II, NAZIS CAPTURE INDIANA JONES AND OXFORD ARCHAEOLOGIST BASIL SHAW AS THEY ATTEMPT TO RETRIEVE THE LANCE OF LONGINUS FROM A CASTLE IN THE FRENCH ALPS. ASTROPHYSICIST JÜRGEN VOLLER INFORMS HIS SUPERIORS THE LANCE IS FAKE, BUT HE HAS FOUND HALF OF ARCHIMEDES' DIAL, AN ANTIKYTHERA MECHANISM BUILT BY THE ANCIENT SYRACUSAN MATHEMATICIAN ARCHIMEDES WHICH REVEALS TIME FISSURES, THEREBY ALLOWING FOR POSSIBLE TIME TRAVEL. JONES ESCAPES ONTO A BERLIN-BOUND TRAIN FILLED WITH LOOTED ANTIQUITIES AND FREES BASIL. HE OBTAINS THE DIAL PIECE, AND THE TWO ESCAPE JUST BEFORE ALLIED FORCES DERAIL THE TRAIN. IN 1969, JONES, WHO IS RETIRING FROM HUNTER COLLEGE IN NEW YORK CITY, HAS BEEN SEPARATED FROM MARION SINCE THEIR SON MUTT'S DEATH IN THE VIETNAM WAR. JONES' GODDAUGHTER, ARCHAEOLOGIST HELENA SHAW, UNEXPECTEDLY VISITS AND WANTS TO RESEARCH THE DIAL. JONES WARNS THAT HER LATE FATHER, BASIL, BECAME OBSESSED WITH STUDYING THE DIAL BEFORE RELINQUISHING IT TO JONES TO DESTROY, WHICH HE NEVER DID. AS JONES AND HELENA RETRIEVE THE DIAL HALF FROM THE COLLEGE ARCHIVES, VOLLER'S ACCOMPLICES ATTACK THEM. THE CIA ASSISTS VOLLER, NOW WORKING FOR NASA AS "DR. SCHMIDT". HELENA, REVEALED AS AN ANTIQUITIES SMUGGLER, ABSCONDS WITH THE DIAL TO AUCTION IT ON THE BLACK MARKET. JONES IS FRAMED FOR TWO COLLEAGUES' MURDERS, FORCING HIM TO ESCAPE THROUGH THE APOLLO 11 MOON LANDING PARADE, THEN AN ANTI-WAR PROTEST. JONES SEEKS OUT OLD FRIEND SALLAH, NOW A NEW YORK CAB DRIVER, WHO HELPS HIM FLEE THE COUNTRY AFTER SURMISING THAT HELENA WILL LIKELY SELL THE DIAL IN TANGIER. IN TANGIER, JONES DISRUPTS HELENA'S ILLEGAL PRIVATE AUCTION, BUT VOLLER AND HIS HENCHMEN ARRIVE AND STEAL THE ARTIFACT. JONES, HELENA, AND HER TEEN SIDEKICK TEDDY KUMAR, CHASE THEM THROUGH THE STREETS IN A TUK-TUK. THE CIA INTERCEPTS VOLLER AFTER THE U.S. GOVERNMENT DISAVOWS HIM FOR GOING ROGUE, BUT HE AND HIS COHORTS MURDER THE AGENTS AND STEAL THE CIA'S HELICOPTER. JONES, HELENA AND TEDDY TRAIL VOLLER TO GREECE AND TEAM UP WITH JONES' OLD FRIEND RENALDO, A PROFESSIONAL DIVER. GUIDED BY BASIL'S RESEARCH, THEY DIVE TO AN ANCIENT AEGEAN SEA SHIPWRECK AND RETRIEVE A "GRAPHIKOS" TABLET CONTAINING DIRECTIONS TO THE DIAL'S OTHER HALF. VOLLER ARRIVES AND MURDERS RENALDO AND HIS CREW, BUT JONES' GROUP ESCAPES AND HEADS TO SICILY, PURSUED BY VOLLER. INSIDE THE EAR OF DIONYSIUS CAVERN, JONES AND HELENA FIND ARCHIMEDES' TOMB, THE DIAL'S SECOND HALF, AND A 20TH-CENTURY WRISTWATCH ON ARCHIMEDES' SKELETAL ARM. VOLLER APPEARS AND CAPTURES JONES, WOUNDING HIM. HELENA AND TEDDY ESCAPE AND CHASE VOLLER. VOLLER REASSEMBLES THE DIAL AND INTENDS TO TIME-TRAVEL BACK TO 1939 TO HELP LEAD GERMANY TO VICTORY IN WORLD WAR II BY ASSASSINATING ADOLF HITLER AND AVOIDING HIS MISTAKES. AT AN AIRFIELD, VOLLER ACTIVATES THE DIAL AND LOCATES A TIME FISSURE IN THE SKY. JONES IS HELD CAPTIVE ON VOLLER'S STOLEN PLANE WHILE HELENA STOWS AWAY THROUGH ITS LANDING GEAR. TEDDY FOLLOWS IN ANOTHER PLANE. WHILST APPROACHING THE FISSURE, JONES REALIZES THAT CONTINENTAL DRIFT COULD HAVE ALTERED THE TIMELINE COORDINATES. RATHER THAN 1939, THE GROUP ARRIVES AT THE SIEGE OF SYRACUSE IN 212 BC. THE WARRING ARMIES SHOOT DOWN VOLLER'S PLANE, BELIEVING IT IS A DRAGON. JONES AND HELENA PARACHUTE OUT JUST BEFORE THE PLANE CRASHES, KILLING ALL ABOARD, WHILE TEDDY LANDS SAFELY. ARCHIMEDES FINDS VOLLER'S BODY AND WRISTWATCH IN THE WRECKAGE. HE GIVES JONES THE DIAL BUT KEEPS THE WATCH. JONES AND HELENA LEARN THAT ARCHIMEDES CREATED THE DIAL TO BRING USERS FROM THE FUTURE THROUGH FISSURES THAT LEAD ONLY TO 212 BC. AS THE FISSURE BEGINS TO COLLAPSE, JONES WANTS TO REMAIN BEHIND, FEELING HE HAS NOTHING LEFT TO RETURN TO. HELENA, FEARING A TIME PARADOX AND UNWILLING TO GIVE UP ON HIM, KNOCKS JONES UNCONSCIOUS. BACK IN 1969, A RECOVERING JONES AWAKENS IN HIS APARTMENT AND REUNITES WITH HELENA, TEDDY, SALLAH AND MARION. MARION AND JONES RECONCILE. | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

IN 1957, SOVIET AGENTS LED BY COLONEL DOCTOR IRINA SPALKO KIDNAP AMERICAN ARCHEOLOGIST INDIANA JONES AND HIS PARTNER GEORGE "MAC" MCHALE.

MUTT WILLIAMS, A YOUNG GREASER, APPROACHES JONES AND INFORMS HIM THAT HIS FORMER COLLEAGUE, HAROLD "OX" OXLEY, FOUND A CRYSTAL SKULL IN PERU IN SEARCH OF THE MYTHICAL CITY AKATOR. SOVIET AGENTS ATTEMPT TO CAPTURE THEM, BUT THE TWO ESCAPE AND TRAVEL TO PERU. THERE, THEY FIND CARVINGS MADE BY OX WHICH LEAD THE PAIR TO THE GRAVE OF FRANCISCO DE ORELLANA, WHICH CONTAINS AN ELONGATED CRYSTAL SKULL.

THEY ARE REUNITED WITH MAC, SPALKO, AN ADDLED OX, AND MUTT'S MOTHER, MARION RAVENWOOD, WHO INFORMS JONES THAT MUTT IS HIS SON. SPALKO TELLS JONES THAT THE SKULLS ARE ALIEN IN ORIGIN AND INTENDS TO USE THEM TO PROJECT SOVIET PROPAGANDA INTO THE MINDS OF AMERICANS.

JONES AND HIS COMPANIONS LOCATE AKATOR, WHERE THEY LEARN THAT THE SKULL BELONGED TO ONE OF THIRTEEN "INTERDIMENSIONAL BEINGS" WHOM THE EARLY UGHA TRIBES WORSHIPPED AS DEITIES. SPALKO CATCHES UP AND RETURNS THE SKULL TO ITS SKELETON, WHICH COMES TO LIFE AND OFFERS SPALKO THE REWARD OF OMNISCIENCE. AS AN INTERDIMENSIONAL PORTAL OPENS ABOVE THE CHAMBER, ABDUCTING MAC AND SPALKO’S REMAINING SOLDIERS, THE SKELETONS COMBINE INTO A REANIMATED ALIEN, WHO TRANSFERS AN OVERWHELMING AMOUNT OF KNOWLEDGE INTO SPALKO'S MIND, VAPORIZING HER. JONES, OX, MARION AND MUTT ESCAPE THE CRUMBLING CITY AS A FLYING SAUCER RISES FROM THE RUINS AND DEPARTS FOR ANOTHER DIMENSION. AS OX REGAINS HIS SANITY, JONES AND HIS PARTY RETURN TO THE UNITED STATES WHERE HE IS REINSTATED AT MARSHALL COLLEGE AND PROMOTED TO ASSOCIATE DEAN. JONES AND MARION MARRY EACH OTHER. TOWARDS THE END OF WORLD WAR II, NAZIS CAPTURE INDIANA JONES AND OXFORD ARCHAEOLOGIST BASIL SHAW AS THEY ATTEMPT TO RETRIEVE THE LANCE OF LONGINUS FROM A CASTLE IN THE FRENCH ALPS. ASTROPHYSICIST JÜRGEN VOLLER INFORMS HIS SUPERIORS THE LANCE IS FAKE, BUT HE HAS FOUND HALF OF ARCHIMEDES' DIAL, AN ANTIKYTHERA MECHANISM BUILT BY THE ANCIENT SYRACUSAN MATHEMATICIAN ARCHIMEDES WHICH REVEALS TIME FISSURES, THEREBY ALLOWING FOR POSSIBLE TIME TRAVEL. JONES ESCAPES ONTO A BERLIN-BOUND TRAIN FILLED WITH LOOTED ANTIQUITIES AND FREES BASIL. HE OBTAINS THE DIAL PIECE, AND THE TWO ESCAPE JUST BEFORE ALLIED FORCES DERAIL THE TRAIN. IN 1969, JONES, WHO IS RETIRING FROM HUNTER COLLEGE IN NEW YORK CITY, HAS BEEN SEPARATED FROM MARION SINCE THEIR SON MUTT'S DEATH IN THE VIETNAM WAR. JONES' GODDAUGHTER, ARCHAEOLOGIST HELENA SHAW, UNEXPECTEDLY VISITS AND WANTS TO RESEARCH THE DIAL. JONES WARNS THAT HER LATE FATHER, BASIL, BECAME OBSESSED WITH STUDYING THE DIAL BEFORE RELINQUISHING IT TO JONES TO DESTROY, WHICH HE NEVER DID. AS JONES AND HELENA RETRIEVE THE DIAL HALF FROM THE COLLEGE ARCHIVES, VOLLER'S ACCOMPLICES ATTACK THEM. THE CIA ASSISTS VOLLER, NOW WORKING FOR NASA AS "DR. SCHMIDT". HELENA, REVEALED AS AN ANTIQUITIES SMUGGLER, ABSCONDS WITH THE DIAL TO AUCTION IT ON THE BLACK MARKET. JONES IS FRAMED FOR TWO COLLEAGUES' MURDERS, FORCING HIM TO ESCAPE THROUGH THE APOLLO 11 MOON LANDING PARADE, THEN AN ANTI-WAR PROTEST. JONES SEEKS OUT OLD FRIEND SALLAH, NOW A NEW YORK CAB DRIVER, WHO HELPS HIM FLEE THE COUNTRY AFTER SURMISING THAT HELENA WILL LIKELY SELL THE DIAL IN TANGIER. IN TANGIER, JONES DISRUPTS HELENA'S ILLEGAL PRIVATE AUCTION, BUT VOLLER AND HIS HENCHMEN ARRIVE AND STEAL THE ARTIFACT. JONES, HELENA, AND HER TEEN SIDEKICK TEDDY KUMAR, CHASE THEM THROUGH THE STREETS IN A TUK-TUK. THE CIA INTERCEPTS VOLLER AFTER THE U.S. GOVERNMENT DISAVOWS HIM FOR GOING ROGUE, BUT HE AND HIS COHORTS MURDER THE AGENTS AND STEAL THE CIA'S HELICOPTER. JONES, HELENA AND TEDDY TRAIL VOLLER TO GREECE AND TEAM UP WITH JONES' OLD FRIEND RENALDO, A PROFESSIONAL DIVER. GUIDED BY BASIL'S RESEARCH, THEY DIVE TO AN ANCIENT AEGEAN SEA SHIPWRECK AND RETRIEVE A "GRAPHIKOS" TABLET CONTAINING DIRECTIONS TO THE DIAL'S OTHER HALF. VOLLER ARRIVES AND MURDERS RENALDO AND HIS CREW, BUT JONES' GROUP ESCAPES AND HEADS TO SICILY, PURSUED BY VOLLER. INSIDE THE EAR OF DIONYSIUS CAVERN, JONES AND HELENA FIND ARCHIMEDES' TOMB, THE DIAL'S SECOND HALF, AND A 20TH-CENTURY WRISTWATCH ON ARCHIMEDES' SKELETAL ARM. VOLLER APPEARS AND CAPTURES JONES, WOUNDING HIM. HELENA AND TEDDY ESCAPE AND CHASE VOLLER. VOLLER REASSEMBLES THE DIAL AND INTENDS TO TIME-TRAVEL BACK TO 1939 TO HELP LEAD GERMANY TO VICTORY IN WORLD WAR II BY ASSASSINATING ADOLF HITLER AND AVOIDING HIS MISTAKES. AT AN AIRFIELD, VOLLER ACTIVATES THE DIAL AND LOCATES A TIME FISSURE IN THE SKY. JONES IS HELD CAPTIVE ON VOLLER'S STOLEN PLANE WHILE HELENA STOWS AWAY THROUGH ITS LANDING GEAR. TEDDY FOLLOWS IN ANOTHER PLANE. WHILST APPROACHING THE FISSURE, JONES REALIZES THAT CONTINENTAL DRIFT COULD HAVE ALTERED THE TIMELINE COORDINATES. RATHER THAN 1939, THE GROUP ARRIVES AT THE SIEGE OF SYRACUSE IN 212 BC. THE WARRING ARMIES SHOOT DOWN VOLLER'S PLANE, BELIEVING IT IS A DRAGON. JONES AND HELENA PARACHUTE OUT JUST BEFORE THE PLANE CRASHES, KILLING ALL ABOARD, WHILE TEDDY LANDS SAFELY. ARCHIMEDES FINDS VOLLER'S BODY AND WRISTWATCH IN THE WRECKAGE. HE GIVES JONES THE DIAL BUT KEEPS THE WATCH. JONES AND HELENA LEARN THAT ARCHIMEDES CREATED THE DIAL TO BRING USERS FROM THE FUTURE THROUGH FISSURES THAT LEAD ONLY TO 212 BC. AS THE FISSURE BEGINS TO COLLAPSE, JONES WANTS TO REMAIN BEHIND, FEELING HE HAS NOTHING LEFT TO RETURN TO. HELENA, FEARING A TIME PARADOX AND UNWILLING TO GIVE UP ON HIM, KNOCKS JONES UNCONSCIOUS. BACK IN 1969, A RECOVERING JONES AWAKENS IN HIS APARTMENT AND REUNITES WITH HELENA, TEDDY, SALLAH AND MARION. MARION AND JONES RECONCILE.
