Indiana Jones is a film series that has been shot in multiple locations around the world, most of them available to visit.

Indiana Jones (legal name: Henry Jones, Jr.) is a character created by George Lucas, as a tribute to serial adventures of the 1930s. The franchise contains four feature films directed by Steven Spielberg, starring Harrison Ford, as well as a television series The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, and several books and video games.

Indy's father, Henry Jones Sr (Sean Connery), pursues the Holy Grail, and needs to be rescued from the Nazis. See Crusades for historical background.
