Indiana Jones Secretly Stole Back the Idol He Lost in Raiders’ Opening

Raiders of the Lost Ark’s opening scene is one of the most iconic in cinema history, introducing audiences to Indiana Jones in a thrilling sequence that sees him retrieve a golden idol from a booby-trapped temple. And though Indy’s efforts are seemingly all for naught after his rival Belloq takes the idol from his hands, Dr. Jones managed to steal the idol back and get it into a museum after all. But the nature of how he gets it back proves that fans were better off not seeing this epilogue to his most famous scene.
