The four Indiana Jones movies will officially become part of Disney+ later this month as a prelude to the theatrical release of the fifth film next month.
Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull will be available to stream on Disney+ globally beginning May 31, confirms Disney and Lucasfilm.
The TV show The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones will also land on Disney+ on the same day.
The Dial of Destiny
The iconic movies were produced by Lucasfilm in partnership with Paramount Pictures. The latter retained distribution rights even after Disney acquired Lucasfilm, and the four movies will also be available to stream on Paramount+ as part of the new deal.
Still, Disney can now unite all things Indiana Jones on Disney+ ahead of the theatrical debut of the new Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny on June 30, 2023. This movie is expected to later debut on Disney+ – perhaps after a VOD release.

It is not clear if they will be available to stream on Disney+ in 4K Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, like on Apple TV (iTunes).
Disney is also rumored to be considering a TV series based on the franchise but it has yet to be confirmed.
The four Indiana Jones movies
"Raiders of the Lost Ark"
In this first installment of the series, which was nominated for eight Academy Awards including Best Picture and won four, archeologist-adventurer Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) is tasked by Army Intelligence to track down an invaluable staff that is the key to locating the Ark of the Covenant, which is being sought by the Nazis.
"Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom"
After fleeing a nightclub shooting and being dropped out of an abandoned plane, Professor Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford), singer Willie Scott (Kate Capshaw) and 12-year-old Short Round (Ke Huy Quan) find themselves in a starving Indian village who blame their plight on the loss of three mystical stones that have always brought the village prosperity. Jones vows to return the stolen rocks — which brings him and his unlikely cohorts face-to-face with a deadly cult.
"Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
There’s nothing more exciting than trying to keep up with the Joneses in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Indy’s Nazi enemies are back and have kidnapped his father, Professor Henry Jones, Sr. (Sean Connery), in their effort to locate the sacred Holy Grail. Following a trail from America to Venice to the deserts of the Middle East, it’s up to Indy (Harrison Ford) to save his father, save the Grail and save the day in this non-stop, action-packed adventure the whole family will treasure.
"Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull"
Famed archaeologist/adventurer Dr. Henry Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) is called back into action when he becomes entangled in a Soviet plot to uncover the secret behind mysterious artifacts known as the Crystal Skulls. |
