Synopsis: Indiana Jones' latest adventure begins in the desert southwest of the USA. The year is 1957, at the height of the Cold War. Indy and his friend Mac have just escaped a gang of Soviet agents in search of a mysterious relic from the depths of time. Back at Marshall College, Professor Jones hears some very bad news: his recent activities have made him a suspect in the eyes of the American government. Dean Stanforth, who is also a close friend, is forced to dismiss him. On his way out of town, Indiana meets a rebellious young biker, Mutt, who makes him an unexpected proposition. In exchange for his help, Mutt will put him on the trail of the Akator Crystal Skull, a mysterious relic that has aroused as much fascination as fear for centuries. It could well be the greatest find in the history of archaeology. Indy and Mutt set out for Peru, a land of mystery and superstition, where so many explorers have died or gone mad, in search of hypothetical and elusive treasures. But they soon realize that they are not alone in their quest: Soviet agents are also on the lookout for the Crystal Skull, for it is said that whoever possesses the Skull and deciphers its enigmas will at the same time secure absolute control of the universe. The leader of this gang is the cruel and sumptuous Irina Spalko. Indy will never have a more implacable enemy... Can Indy and Mutt outrun their pursuers, outwit their false friends and, above all, prevent the Crystal Skull from falling into the greedy hands of Irina and her sinister henchmen?
