![]() ![]() Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is the first of the series to be set in the Atomic Age (see Nuclear Energy), a fact signalled early on by a widely mocked scene in which Jones (Ford) escapes from a ground zero blast by hiding in a fridge. While its reception was decidedly mixed, it is markedly better than Lucas's Star Wars prequels which similarly appeared two decades after the original films. ![]() After a long hiatus, the swashbuckling archaeologist Indiana Jones created by Lucas and Spielberg returned in this fourth film. The first and third episodes of the series won Hugo awards as best dramatic presentation. The first three instalments of this much-loved modern Pulp series – Raiders of the Lost Ark ( 1981), Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom ( 1984) and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade ( 1989) – are Fantasy films that hinge on the acquisition of secret artefacts from the Mythology of Religion in the run-up to World War Two. Cast includes Karen Allen, Harrison Ford and Shia LeBoef. ![]() ![]() Written by David Koepp, based on a story by George Lucas and Jeff Nathanson. ![]()
