Spielberg and Lucas are however executive producers of the fifth film.
Young Indiana Jones appears in a flashback sequence set in 1944, eight years after the events of Raiders of the Lost Ark.
The rest of the story takes place in the late 1960s: Indy lives and teaches in New York until old friend Sallah (John Rhys-Davies) tries to convince him to get back into the game: "Those days are over," the professor insists.
"Maybe. And maybe not," replies the friend.
