Indiana Jones is a series of films created by George Lucas and directed by Steven Spielberg, starring Harrison Ford as Indiana himself. The first film, Raiders of the Lost Ark, came out in 1981 and the fourth and so far the latest, The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull in 2008.

The adventurous stories are about an archaeology professor who travels around the world looking for treasures and getting into trouble. The creators were inspired by James Bond movies but wanted to film something without too many weapons and fancy gadgets. Another connection to the famous spy movies is that Sean Connery, one of the actors playing Bond, plays Indiana’s father in one of the movies (despite having been just twelve years older than Ford).

Although he is mostly called “Indiana”, it is not the main character’s actual name. It is revealed only later in the movies that his name is in fact Henry Walton Jones. Indiana is a nickname that Lucas gave the character based on his own real-life dog. Lucas is also known for being the creator of Star Wars. That’s why it shouldn’t surprise us to find pictures of the two Star Wars droids, R2-D2 and C-3PO, on the wall of a temple Indiana visits.
