As a devoted fan, I’m thrilled to share that the Indiana Jones franchise has made its grand comeback on Paramount+. However, the streaming journey of this iconic series remains intricate. On June 1st, Paramount+ regained control over the Indiana Jones movies, but there’s one film in the series that’s missing from their lineup. So, to catch every movie in the franchise, we enthusiasts will need to search for the elusive one on a different streaming platform.
Beginning June 1st, the initial four Indiana Jones movies migrated to Paramount+. This means that fans can now enjoy Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull on this streaming service. However, it’s important to note that Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, the fifth movie in the series, is not included as it was not produced by Paramount. To watch this film, you’ll need to visit Disney+ instead, as it’s currently only available on Disney platforms.
Indiana Jones’ Streaming Rights Explained
Paramount & Disney Each Have Rights To Indiana Jones
The Indiana Jones series consists of five films, with the first one being Raiders of the Lost Ark in 1981, followed by Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny in 2023. In between these two, Lucasfilm, under Paramount’s supervision, released Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom in 1984, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade in 1989, and lastly, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull in 2008.
Over the course of various adventures, Indiana Jones, portrayed by Harrison Ford, battled Nazis, safeguarded the world from harm, and came across religious artifacts, voodoo priests, Knights Templar, extraterrestrials, and even time travel. Yet, there’s been a hiccup regarding ownership rights since Disney acquired Lucasfilm following Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

Disney now has the rights to the Indiana Jones films, which have been incorporated into their Disney+ streaming platform following the acquisition. Earlier, these movies were accessible on Paramount+ as well, but in October 2024, Paramount+ took down its Indiana Jones content. However, in June, Paramount+ regained control of the Paramount Indiana Jones films once more. As of June 1st, you can find the first four Indiana Jones movies on Pluto TV, a free ad-supported streaming service. Meanwhile, all five movies are still available for Disney+ subscribers to watch.
Our Take On Indiana Jones Streaming Situation
Splitting Up Franchises Is A Downfall Of Streaming Wars
In the streaming age, it can be challenging to follow where films land. It becomes particularly annoying when different installments of a series end up on separate platforms. Fortunately, for the Indiana Jones series, all movies are accessible in one place – Disney+, which is their main home. This service also offers the documentary titled Timeless Heroes: Indiana Jones & Harrison Ford. Unfortunately, for those who don’t prefer Disney+, only the first four films are available. However, these are still considered the finest Indiana Jones films within the franchise.
