Harrison Ford first stepped into the shoes of Indiana Jones back in 1981 when he originated the role in "Raiders of the Lost Ark." The adventurous archaeologist and college professor got himself in some wild situations in that first film as well as three more in the franchise — and now a fourth sequel is here. Harrison Ford returns as the hero character one last time in "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny," which opens in theaters on June 30, 2023. To celebrate, we're rounding up some iconic images from the previous films, starting with this one…
