Indiana Jones Movies In Order

Indiana Jones is a household name, famous for his crazy adventures and action packed movies.  Harrison Ford who plays Jones, is a fictional archaeologist who always manages to find himself in danger, escaping just in the nick of time.  Originally created by George Lucas and sold to Disney in 2012, the Indiana Jones series has five feature films and has branched out into television series, video games, books, and action figures.  Since its inception in 1981, this successful franchise has went on to gross nearly 2 billion dollars worldwide in combined box office earnings and earned many notable awards.

Unlike many series, it’s not that important to watch the Indiana Jones movies in order.  Each movie has a completely separate plot line from the others, and they aren’t really a sequential story.  I still recommend new fans watch them in order though, and I’ll explain why.  The first movie in the series, Raiders of the Lost Ark does a very good job at introducing all of the characters in the series.  You’ll meet all the characters, learn their personalities, and know what to expect in the following films.  So if you’ve watched them out of order, don’t worry there’s no spoilers in later flicks.  Sit back and start watching the earlier versions, it’s not too late!

Indiana Jones was not just about the movies, it was also a television series and some made for television films.  Unfortunately, the TV series, while successful only lasted a couple of years.  This is because the budget required to produce the show was too large to continue.  It was discontinued and revived with the made for television movies.  These movies turned into a 22 part series called The Adventure of Young Indiana Jones which aired from 1994-96 on The Family Channel.
