Indiana Jones—the adventurous archeologist—dons his trademark Fedora, straps on a holstered pistol, and coils his bullwhip as he gets cracking on a new movie adventure. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is set against the backdrop of the Cold War and this time, Indy is fighting the Soviets.
Just in time for the movie's release, pop-culture chronicler George Beahm explores the uncharted territory of Indy's world—exotic ports of call worldwide, lost worlds and legendary cities, real-world film locations for the Indiana Jones films—again separating fact from fiction.
Longtime fans will welcome the look back at the Indiana Jones phenomenon that includes an overview of the character and an in-depth look at each of the films. Also included is a synopsis of each installment of The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, how to dress like Indy, and much more!
Exploring the World of Indiana Jones is the perfect book for the armchair traveler or the more adventurous who wants to follow in Indy's footsteps; it transports you to places unimagined, well off the beaten path, where danger lurks around every corner!
