Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull Plot Points
Let's face it; we don't know jack sheiza about this fourth Indiana Jones installment. It's got something to do with a crystal skull -- that's for sure -- but what else? USA Today is hoping to answer those questions by exposing some 'secret' plot points.
When last we saw Indy, he was riding off into the sunset in 1989's The Last Crusade, set in 1938 near the start of World War II. The new movie, due this spring, is set at the height of the Cold War in 1957, so the character has aged in real time — 19 years.
"He's teaching and having kind of a quiet life," the producer says. Once the archaeologist is thrust back into danger, the signature Indiana Jones red line tracing across the map will take him to New Mexico, Connecticut, Mexico City and the jungles of Peru.
Having Indy age some does seem to be the best option. The only problem is that his usual foe, the Nazi party, has now been replaced by Russian operatives.
So, what does the crystal skull have to do with anything?
"The theory is they are shaped by higher powers or alien powers or came from another world, or an ancient Mayan civilization had the powers," Marshall says.
