Indiana Jones has been a legendary part of pop culture and cinema history for almost four decades, beginning in 1981 with Steven Spielberg and George Lucas's masterpiece Raiders of the Lost Ark. Taking its cue from '30s comic strips and Saturday matinee serials with heroes like Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers, the two innovative filmmakers set out to recreate the rollicking adventures of their youth. What they created was a timeless classic with high-speed chases, pithy one-liners, and one iconic leading man in Harrison Ford.

The franchise grew to include several sequels, taking the noted archaeologist and treasure hunter all around the world in search of mystical artifacts. With lush locations, top-notch special effects from the team behind Star Wars Industrial Light and Magic, and a great cast of memorable characters, a legacy was cemented that fans have enjoyed for generations. Grab your hat and bullwhip, here's a collection of gifts that no Indy fan should be without!

REPLICA OF INDY'S ICONIC FEDORA
