From the serials that influenced him to the recent blockbusters he influenced, there are plenty of movies that replicate the appeal of Indiana Jones.
With Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny on the way, there has never been a better time to revisit the movies that shaped the Indiana Jones franchise and the hits that were influenced by Indy. Indiana Jones is up there with James Bond and Superman as one of cinema’s most enduringly popular heroes. Harrison Ford’s beleaguered everyman first charmed audiences in the rip-roaring adventure Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark.

This provided the plot of Jungle Raiders and also formed the story of the 1950s adventure movie King Solomon’s Mines. An epic adventure movie adapted from Henry Rider Haggard’s novel, King Solomon’s Mines, sees a safari guide search for a woman’s missing husband deep in the untamed jungle.
8 Romancing The Stone Released in 1985, Romancing the Stone fused the Indiana Jones formula with a rom-com premise to great effect. Sending Kathleen Turner’s uptight romance novelist into the jungle with Michael Douglas’s taciturn hunter, this classic added more humor to the Indiana Jones set up and gave the story a sweeter ending. While it might be lighter than any of Indy’s franchise outings, this one remains a fun diversion.
5 National Treasure A goofy thriller, National Treasure brings the chases and global conspiracies of the Indiana Jones movies home to America. While the National Treasure franchise never quite reached the heights of the Indiana Jones movies, the series does feature some ingenious set pieces and puzzles. Meanwhile, a frantic Nicholas Cage is perhaps the most unexpected and surprisingly successful variation on the Indiana Jones archetype.
