On
May 22, Indiana Jones is back in a new globe-trotting adventure,
"Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull." Directed by
Steven Spielberg and starring Harrison Ford as Indy, "Indiana Jones and
the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" features an outstanding cast,
including Oscar® winner Cate Blanchett, Karen Allen, Ray Winstone,
John Hurt, Oscar® winner Jim Broadbent and Shia LaBeouf. Frank
Marshall is the film's producer. George Lucas and Kathleen Kennedy are
the executive producers. The screenplay is by David Koepp from a story
by George Lucas.
This newest adventure begins in the desert Southwest in 1957 –
the height of the Cold War. Indy and his sidekick Mac (Ray Winstone)
have barely escaped a close scrape with nefarious Soviet agents on a
remote airfield.
Now, Professor Jones has returned home to Marshall College – only
to find things have gone from bad to worse. His close friend and dean
of the college (Jim Broadbent) explains that Indy’s recent
activities have made him the object of suspicion, and that the
government has put pressure on the university to fire him. On his way
out of town, Indiana meets rebellious young Mutt (Shia LaBeouf), who
carries both a grudge and a proposition for the adventurous
archaeologist: If he’ll help Mutt on a mission with deeply
personal stakes, Indy could very well make one of the most spectacular
archaeological finds in history – the Crystal Skull of Akator, a
legendary object of fascination, superstition and fear.
But as Indy and Mutt set out for the most remote corners of Peru
– a land of ancient tombs, forgotten explorers and a rumored city
of gold – they quickly realize they are not alone in their
search. The Soviet agents are also hot on the trail of the Crystal
Skull. Chief among them is icy cold, devastatingly beautiful Irina
Spalko (Cate Blanchett), whose elite military unit is scouring the
globe for the eerie Crystal Skull, which they believe can help the
Soviets dominate the world ... if they can unlock its secrets. Indy and
Mutt must find a way to evade the ruthless Soviets, follow an
impenetrable trail of mystery, grapple with enemies and friends of
questionable motives, and, above all, stop the powerful Crystal Skull
from falling into the deadliest of hands.
