The story of Indiana Jones, portrayed by Harrison Ford, is currently played out officially over four movies set in the 1930s through the 1950s (there's another on the way!) Enjoy the Indiana Jones movies on various platforms, including Amazon Prime, Vudu, Apple TV+, YouTube, and Google Play Movies & TV.

There was also an early 90s TV series chronicling the life of young Indiana Jones. Episodes and unaired content were later edited into 21 feature-length films released on video and TV. An animated short video about the famed adventurer was another element viewers welcomed.

If you want to binge on all four theatrically released Indiana Jones movies, you'll need to set aside an entire afternoon and evening. The longest film is Raiders of the Lost Ark, at two hours and 18 minutes. In total, if you watch all four films in one sitting, you'll enjoy seven hours and 35 minutes of nonstop Indiana Jones adventure.
