* ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade'' (1989) -- Set in 1938, Dr. Jones once again finds himself odds with Nazis as he learns that they're searching for the Holy Grail, which is believed to be able to indefinitely extend the lives of those who drink from it.

Creator/GeorgeLucas prided ''Young Indy'' on managing a {{film}}-level quality production on a television budget, helped by revolutions in digital technology, and he has said that the show was partly a test to see how far he could take the later ''Franchise/StarWars'' {{prequel}}s. Also like ''Star Wars'', the series was subject to subsequent [[ReCut furious re-editing by Lucas]], the new cuts first showing up during re-airings in the late '90s. This re-cut version, which is the only one currently available on DVD, is known as ''The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones''. The ''Adventures'' combines the ''Chronicles'' episodes into two-hour tele-movies, two shows per film (often in a quite different, and much more strictly chronological, order than in the original airings). Notably, none of the Old Indy bookends are featured in the ''Adventures'' (though Harrison Ford's cameo survived the cuts). Years later, it would be revealed that Lucasfilm would be developing at least one ''Indiana Jones'' series for Creator/DisneyPlus, with reports indicating that the series would involve Abner Ravenwood, a PosthumousCharacter from ''Raiders of the Lost Ark'' and Indy's teacher.

* ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheTempleOfDoom'' (1984) -- A {{prequel}} set in 1935. After a misadventure in China leaves himself, Willie Scott (Creator/KateCapshaw), and Short Round (Creator/JonathanKeQuan) marooned in India, Dr. Jones is tasked with recovering the Sankara Stones and uncovering the whereabouts of hundreds of missing children to a nearby village. Along the way, the group finds themselves at odds with a group of Thugee cultists who worship the goddess Kali.

Between the games, the TV show, the ride and the movies, Indiana Jones has become one of THE most popular and recognizable characters in a hundred years. Indeed, if adventure has a name...

There are five films in the series, the first three of which are set before UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, while the fourth and fifth films are set during the UsefulNotes/ColdWar. Steven Spielberg and George Lucas originally planned to make five movies, but capped things off at three... [[SequelGap Before revisiting the franchise with a fourth movie decades later.]] Once Disney purchased Lucasfilm, it was quickly confirmed that a fifth film will be made like Spielberg and Lucas originally originally planned. Spielberg directed and Lucas produced the first four, while Creator/JamesMangold took over for directing the fifth, and Spielberg and Lucas remained onboard as executive producers.

* BittersweetEnding: The standard formula is that Indy discovers something of revolutionary historical, cultural and even religious and scientific importance, only to have it snatched away from him in the end and the circumstances prevent him from publicizing any of it. [[spoiler:The Ark]] is technically the only thing in the movies he was able to bring back home with him, but it was too dangerous to put in a museum so [[spoiler:the government just tosses it into a warehouse to forget about.]]

* ''Indiana Jones 5'' (2023) -- Set in 1969 at the end of the Space Race, the film tells the story of [[GrandFinale Indy's last big adventure]], sharing the spotlight with his goddaughter Helena (Creator/PhoebeWallerBridge).
