Indiana Jones Lunch Box

Description:

Metal lunch box with colorful animated scenes from the movie Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom depicted on all sides. A thermos is included.

Filmmaker George Lucas conceived of Indiana Jones as a globe-trekking archeologist to pay homage to classic Hollywood adventure films. Jones is a reluctant hero who finds himself fighting evil-doers of all sorts while seeking to preserve cultural heritage. The Indiana Jones series, directed by Steven Spielberg, is among the most successful movie franchises in American history.
