Indiana Jones

Five films, one of which is a prequel because the caption says so, and a series nobody knows how to count.

Where to start with Indiana Jones

Release order is the right way in even though it is not the order these happen, because the second film is a prequel by one year and swapping it to the front costs you the introduction to the character.

  1. 1
    Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) Raiders of the Lost Ark

    Captioned 1936, and written as the first thing you see of this man. It is also the best of the five by most accounts, so there is no argument for saving it.

  2. 2
    Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom

    Captioned 1935, which makes it a prequel by a year, and much darker than either film around it. It shares no characters with Raiders other than Indy.

  3. 3
    Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989) Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

    Captioned 1938, and it opens on a 1912 prologue that is the only place the films show him young. It is the one that finally explains the hat and the scar.

Then what? Then Crystal Skull in 1957 and Dial of Destiny in 1969, which are set nineteen and thirty-one years after Last Crusade and both play that gap deliberately. Young Indiana Jones covers 1908 to 1922 and sits before all of it, but it is a different kind of show entirely and works better as a separate track than spliced in.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below: tick anything off in either place.

Sync & backup

Your progress is saved on this device automatically. The code below takes a copy out and puts it back. Moving a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is part of the subscription.

The code holds only this franchise. The link opens the tracker with your progress already filled in, good for showing someone where you're at. The image is a picture you can keep anywhere: scan the code on it with a phone, or drag the file back in below.

Every franchise you have touched, in one code.

Scan it with another device's camera, or paste the code in below. It never leaves your browser.

Drag a SagaList image here, or .

This reads the progress stored inside the picture, so nothing has to be retyped. If the image has been through a messaging app it may have been re-encoded and lost that: scan the code on it instead, or copy the code printed along the bottom.

Takes either kind of code. A single franchise code replaces that franchise, on any device. An everything code merges by default, so nothing you have ticked on this device is lost. Putting a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is the part an account pays for.

Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.
