Dr. Henry Walton "Indiana" Jones, Jr.,〔The character's full name is stated in the Corey Carrier narration of the feature-length episode ''My First Adventure'' from ''The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles.''〕 often shortened to "Indy", is the title character of the ''Indiana Jones'' franchise. George Lucas created the character in homage to the action heroes of 1930s film serials. The character first appeared in the 1981 film ''Raiders of the Lost Ark'', to be followed by ''Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom'' in 1984, ''Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade'' in 1989, ''The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles'' from 1992 to 1996, and ''Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull'' in 2008. Alongside the more widely known films and television programs, the character is also featured in novels, comics, video games, and other media. Jones is also featured in the Disney theme park attraction; Indiana Jones Adventure at Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea, as well as the Disneyland Paris attraction Indiana Jones et le Temple du Péril. Jones is most famously played by Harrison Ford and has also been portrayed by River Phoenix (as the young Jones in ''The Last Crusade'') and in the television series ''The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles'' by Corey Carrier, Sean Patrick Flanery, and George Hall. Doug Lee has supplied Jones voice to two LucasArts video games, ''Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis'' and ''Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine'', while David Esch supplied his voice to ''Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb'' and John Armstrong in ''Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings''.〔(Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings (Video Game 2009) – IMDb )〕 Particularly notable facets of the character include his iconic look (bullwhip, fedora, satchel〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=TheRaider.net - Indiana Jones' Gear )〕 and leather jacket), sense of humor, deep knowledge of many ancient civilizations and languages, and fear of snakes. Since his first appearance in ''Raiders of the Lost Ark'', Indiana Jones has become a worldwide star and remains one of cinema's most revered film characters. In 2003, the American Film Institute ranked him as the second greatest film hero of all time.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=AFI's 100 Years... 100 Heroes and Villains )〕 He was also named the 6th Greatest Movie Character by ''Empire'' magazine.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=''Empire's'' The 100 Greatest Movie Characters )〕 ''Entertainment Weekly'' ranked Indy 2nd on their list of The All-Time Coolest Heroes in Pop Culture.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=''Entertainment Weekly's'' 20 All Time Coolest Heroes in Pop Culture )〕 ''Premiere'' magazine also placed Indy at number 7 on their list of The 100 Greatest Movie Characters of All Time.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=''Premiere's'' The 100 Greatest Movie Characters )〕 On their list of the 100 Greatest Fictional Characters, Fandomania.com ranked Indy at number 10.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= The 100 Greatest Fictional Characters )〕 ==Appearances== * 1981 film ''Raiders of the Lost Ark'' * 1984 prequel film ''Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom'' * 1989 film ''Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade'' * 2008 film ''Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull'' A native of Princeton, New Jersey, Indiana Jones was introduced in the 1981 film ''Raiders of the Lost Ark'', set in 1936. The character is an adventurer reminiscent of the 1930s film serial treasure hunters and pulp action heroes, whose research is funded by Marshall College (named after producer Frank Marshall), a fictional college in Connecticut, where he is a professor of archaeology. In this first adventure, he is pitted against the Nazis, who are commissioned by Hitler to recover evidence related to Aryan roots of Nazism. (see Nazi archaeology). In consequence, Dr Jones travels the world to prevent them from recovering the Ark of the Covenant (see also Biblical archaeology). He is aided by Marion Ravenwood and Sallah. The Nazis are led by Jones's archrival, a Nazi-sympathizing French archaeologist named René Belloq, and Arnold Toht, a sinister Gestapo agent. In the 1984 prequel, ''Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom'', set in 1935, Jones travels to India and attempts to free enslaved children and the three Sankara stones from the bloodthirsty Thuggee cult. He is aided by Short Round, a young boy, and is accompanied by singer Willie Scott (Kate Capshaw). The third film, 1989's ''Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade'', set in 1938, returned to the formula of the original, reintroducing characters such as Sallah and Marcus Brody, a scene from Professor Jones's classroom (he now teaches at Barnett College), the globe trotting element of multiple locations, and the return of the infamous Nazi mystics, this time trying to find the Holy Grail. The film's introduction, set in 1912, provided some back story to the character, specifically the origin of his fear of snakes, his use of a bullwhip, the scar on his chin, and his hat; the film's epilogue also reveals that "Indiana" is not Jones's first name, but a nickname he took from the family dog. The film was a buddy movie of sorts, teaming Jones with his father, often to comical effect. Although Lucas intended to make five Indiana Jones films, ''Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade'' was the last for over eighteen years, as he could not think of a good plot element to drive the next installment. The 2008 film, ''Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull'', is the latest film in the series. Set in 1957, 19 years after the third film, it pits an older, wiser Indiana Jones against Soviet agents bent on harnessing the power of a crystal skull associated with extraterrestrials discovered in South America by his former colleague Harold Oxley (John Hurt). Jones is aided in his adventure by his former lover, Marion Ravenwood (Karen Allen), and her son—a young greaser named Henry "Mutt" Williams (Shia LaBeouf), later revealed to be Jones's biological child, Henry Jones III. There were rumors that Harrison Ford will not return for any future installments and LaBeouf will take over the Indy franchise.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=My Indiana Jones Crackpot Theory )〕 This film also reveals that Jones was recruited by the Office of Strategic Services (a predecessor department to the Central Intelligence Agency) during World War II, attaining the rank of Colonel in the United States Army and running covert operations with MI6 agent George McHale on the Soviet Union. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Indiana Jones」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
