It’s been 15 years since we heard that familiar music or the crack of his whip. But this all changes this weekend as we prepare for another adventure with Indiana Jones. The newest installment of the film collection is set to release this weekend on Friday, June 30^th.

We first met Indiana Jones in Raiders of the lost ark, released June 12, 1981. Dr. Jones was in pursuit of the Ark of the Covenant. The film grossed over 300 million dollars worldwide. The adventure was beginning with Indy with the release of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom in 1984.

This time we find our favorite adventurer in India seeking out five powerful stones that are believed to have the power to rule the world. The film was another blockbuster making over 25 million on the opening weekend. It would be another five years before we would see Harrison Ford put on the brown fedora again.

The next installment of the series was Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade released in 1989 starring Harrison Ford and Sean Connery. Indy and his father are on an adventure to recover the cup of Christ this time. The film made over 37 million on its opening weekend and 400 million worldwide.

It wouldn’t be until 2008 would we see Ford reprise the role in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. This film out of the franchise grossed over 700 million, making it the highest-grossing film so far from the series.

Now, 15 years one last adventure with our favorite archeologist. The film is set to open this weekend here in Tuscaloosa at CMX Hollywood 16 & IMAX. Tuscaloosa you have weekend plans at the movies.
