Short answers, pulled from the story.
George Lucas created the Indiana Jones franchise. He wrote the original concept, titled The Adventures of Indiana Smith, in 1973 and developed the series with Steven Spielberg after a conversation in Maui in May 1977. Spielberg directed the first four films; James Mangold directed the fifth.
There are five Indiana Jones films. They are Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984), Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989), Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008), and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023). Harrison Ford plays the title character in all five.
The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles is a television series that aired from 1992 to 1996. It depicted the character in his youth, with Sean Patrick Flanery playing Indiana aged 16-21 and Corey Carrier playing a younger version around age 8-10. George Lucas developed it as educational entertainment and wrote the story for every episode. The show won 10 Emmy Awards from 23 nominations.
Temple of Doom is set in 1935, one year before Raiders of the Lost Ark, because George Lucas made it a prequel so the Nazis would not appear as villains a second time. Lucas and Spielberg also deliberately made the film darker, influenced by their personal moods following their respective divorces.
The Walt Disney Company owns the Indiana Jones intellectual property after acquiring Lucasfilm in 2012. Walt Disney Studios holds distribution and marketing rights to future films. Paramount Pictures retains distribution rights to the original four films and receives financial participation from any additional films.
The first Indiana Jones video game was Raiders of the Lost Ark, released in 1982 by Atari Inc. for the Atari 2600, one year after the original film debuted. Games based on the franchise have continued to appear across platforms through 2026, including Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, developed by MachineGames.
