Everyone’s favorite globe-trotting, wisecracking
archaeologist is hurtling headfirst into high adventure and
relying on his wits, his fists, and his trusty bullwhip to
get him out of deep trouble.
It’s 1957, and the Cold
War is heating up. A ruthless squad of Russian soldiers
crashes Indiana Jones’s latest expedition and forces the
unwilling Indy along as they brazenly invade American soil,
massacre U.S. soldiers, and plunder a top-secret government
warehouse. Commanded by a sword-wielding colonel who’s as
sinister as she is stunning, the menacing Reds have one
objective: a relic even more precious–and powerful–than the
mythic Ark of the Covenant, capable of unlocking secrets
beyond human comprehension.
Quick thinking and some
high-speed maneuvers help Indy narrowly escape certain
death. But the Russians are unrelenting, and their next move
leads Indy into the depths of the Amazon on a desperate
rescue mission. With a hotheaded teenage biker as his
unlikely wing man and his vengeful new Russian nemesis
waiting for a rematch, Indy’s back in the game–playing for a
prize all the wonders of the world could never rival.
