What is Indiana Jones 5 about?
Details on Lucasfilm's bupcoming fifth Indiana Jones movie are sparse. However, there are a few details that have leaked. The leaks explain that the movie will revolve around Operation Paperclip.
The real life Operation Paperclip saw the American government recruiting high-ranking Nazi scientists to assist with the Space Race. In exchange, the U.S government gave Nazis full pardons for their war crimes and new identities. Seeing as Indiana Jones is very anti-Nazi (he is a hero, after all) this should be an interesting conflict.
James Mangold's untitled Indiana Jones 5 will release on July 29th,2022.
