Indiana Jones debuted in 1981's Raiders of the Lost Ark, with Harrison Ford playing the role in four sequels. Ford last played the character in 2023's Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.
1984's Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom was released as PG, and its dark content and violence led to the creation of the PG-13 rating. Dial of Destiny grossed about $384 million against a budget estimated above $400 million, and 2008's Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull also fell flat with critics. Disney now controls the Indiana Jones character and franchise.
