Twenty years since his last adventure, Indiana Jones is back in action. The year is 1957, the Cold War is raging, and Jones heads out with one of his students to Peru to find the crystal skull – an object with supernatural powers and otherworldly attributes. In their race for the coveted artifact, they are challenged by a Soviet researcher who is trying to get a hold of the skull to use it to win the battle between East and West. Steven Spielberg maintains the magic of the entire Indiana Jones corpus and brings back this brought character just as he was two decades ago: masculine, impatient but with his heart always in the right place.
