  1. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984)
    "Stephen Sommers's reboot is built directly on the Temple of Doom template: pulp-adventure pastiche, exotic-ancient-evil, set-piece-driven plotting." source
  2. Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)
    "This film mirrors "Raiders" with its 1920s setting, Egyptian backdrop, and a plot centered around uncovering ancient artifacts. The similarities in tone and style have led critics to describe it as "the Indiana Jones for a new generation."" 10 Best Movies Inspired By The Indiana Jones Franchise Nathan Sharp ScreenRant
  3. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989)
    "This film follows adventurer Rick O'Connell as he battles an ancient Egyptian priest resurrected from the dead. The movie captures the resourcefulness, daring, humor, and charm reminiscent of Indiana Jones." 10 Movies That Shamelessly Ripped Off Indiana Jones Peter Mutuc ScreenRant
