Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

1957, the Cold War. Soviets led by Colonel Irina Spalko kidnap Indy and his partner Mac and force him to find a crate stored in a US hangar. Mac betrays him, and Indy survives an atomic test inside a refrigerator. Then young Mutt Williams tracks him down: his mother, Marion, and Indy's old colleague Ox have been taken in South America over a crystal skull. They follow the trail to the lost city of Akator, fight off the Soviets and learn where the skull comes from. In the end, Indy and Marion marry.

   Indy survives an atomic test inside a lead-lined refrigerator. The scene became internet slang: "nuking the fridge" is when a franchise goes too far. Time put it on its 2008 buzzword list. Lucas said he had a dossier giving the odds of surviving at about 50-50.
