From Books To Films...Taking A Look At Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the CrystaI...Starring Harrison Ford, Karen Allan and Paul Freeman...

"There are four films, the first three of which are set before WWII:
Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) - the US government hires Indiana to stop Nazi agents from locating and getting (in Egypt) the Ark of the Covenant. (The Nazis are willing to ignore its Jewish origins because they think it will provide supernatural powers.) An experimental project at first, this movie popularized what Roger Ebert calls the "bruised forearm" movie where your date has injured your arm from grabbing it so often from the periling stunts and cliffhanger moments. Such classic scenes include outrunning the rolling boulder and the truck chase where Indy fights Nazis on, around, in and beneath the truck. Indiana Jones himself was a revolutionary hero, one who performs superhuman feats of strength, snarks along the way, is afraid of snakes and looks like hell once the adventure is over. This is widely considered the best of the series and one of the greatest adventure films of all time.

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984)- Darker And Edgier prequel set one year before the first film. In this movie, the Thuggees resurface in India. Indiana crosses their path when trying to track down sacred stones, which they stole in order to take bloody revenge on the British and Take Over The World. Doom has the reputation of being the weakest of the original films, albeit still really good at 85% on the Tomatometer.
ndiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989)- Lighter And Softer sequel to the first film, beginning with a flashback to Indiana's youth, which explains his customary attire, usage of whip as a chosen weapon, the scar on his chin (Henry Jones Jr.'s chin, since it's also on Harrison Ford's chin) and his trademark fear of snakes. Alongside his previously estranged father (Sean Connery), Indiana races the Nazis to locate and get the Holy Grail, which was traced in Hatay State (a then-independent province in Turkey). The Nazis want it as they believe it grants eternal life to those who drink from it. Notable for being more moral than the previous two films.

The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)- set about 20 years after the others in The Fifties with Dirty Communists standing in for the Nazis. The accompanying film also adapts character types and general worldview changes that happened in that era. Aside from the change in time period and thus the lead character's age, this one is most notable for having a Gainax Ending involving science fiction elements. It garnered the worst critical reception of the series (77% on Rotten Tomatoes), but still has its fans. The film also introduced Shia LaBeouf as Mutt Williams.
Lucas and Spielberg are known to be working on a fifth film, which would fit with their original deal with Paramount."

About author James Rollin's book...
“The name is Jones. Indiana Jones.”
He’s back. Everyone’s favorite globe-trotting, tomb-raiding, wisecracking archaeologist is finally at it again.
Now it’s 1957, the atomic age is in full swing, and McCarthy-era paranoia has the nation on edge. But for Indiana Jones, the Cold War really heats up when his latest expedition is crashed by a ruthless squad of Russian soldiers.

Commanded by a sword- wielding colonel who’s as sinister as she is stunning, the menacing Reds drag an unwilling Indy along as they brazenly invade American soil, massacre U.S. soldiers, and plunder a top-secret government warehouse. Their objective: a relic even more precious–and powerful–than the mythic Ark, capable of unlocking secrets beyond human comprehension.

Fast thinking and some high-speed maneuvers help Jones turn the tables, and a one-in-a-million escape narrowly saves him from certain death. But when he’s tarred as a suspected spy and fired by his university, Indy thinks it may be time to hang up his hat.Fate, however, has other plans.

Suddenly the road to retirement takes a sharp detour when a colleague’s kidnapping leads Jones into the depths of the Amazon jungle on a desperate rescue mission. With a hot-headed teenage biker as his unlikely wing man and his vengeful new Russian nemesis waiting for a rematch, Indy’s back in the game–playing for a prize all the wonders of the world could never rival.
