It’s 1957 and soviet agent CATE BLANCHETT is pissed at HARRISON FORD for not giving her more information about alien remains that resulted after a crash in Roswell.
CATE BLANCHETT
I want to know!
HARRISON FORD hides in a refrigerator to avoid a nuclear blast and winds up in a diner with SHIA LABEOUF.
SHIA LABEOUF
You know, your buddy JOHN HURT is insane in Peru after finding a weird-shaped crystal skull.
A motorcycle chase ensues, and CATE BLANCHETT holds a gun to HARRISON FORD’s long-lost love, KAREN ALLEN.
SHIA LABEOUF
Mom!
KAREN ALLEN
Oh, right, I guess I ought to mention that SHIA LABEOUF is your son, HARRISON FORD.
HARRISON FORD
What? How could you not tell me that? This is so like you!
KAREN ALLEN
You can tell we’re meant for each other because we’re bantering and bickering even in the face of death.
HARRISON FORD and the gang find the alien’s crystal skull; engage in sword fights; nearly die in quicksand and get eaten by army ants; and go over not one, not two, but three consecutive waterfalls before they finally find a temple with one HEADLESS SKELETON and thirteen OTHER SKELETONS sitting around. CATE BLANCHETT shows up and pops the skull back on the HEADLESS SKELETON’s neck.
CATE BLANCHETT
I want to know!
The HEADLESS SKELETON comes to life, draws in all the bodies of the OTHER SKELETONS to become one giant alien, and then sets CATE BLANCHETT’s head afire.
CATE BLANCHETT
Noooo! Too… much… knowing!
HARRISON FORD
Time to go.
HARRISON FORD, SHIA LABEOUF, and KAREN ALLEN flee the temple just as a UFO rises up from the ground and takes off to go spread more Scientology propaganda for another world. HARRISON FORD marries KAREN ALLEN, and an Indiana Jones hat floats through the breeze and lands at SHIA LABEOUF’s feet, beckoning him into the franchise. Fin.
