In Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Henry Jones Sr. (Sean Conner) is the estranged father of Indiana Jones. He’s a professor like his son, only much more absent minded.

In the Uncharted series, Nathan “Nate” Drake is treasure hunter with an everyman personality and a wardrobe to match. Game publisher Naughty Dog based him on a combination of Johnny Knoxville and Harrison Ford, and they got the scoundrel down pat.

Highly intelligent, intensely curious, wildly theoretical and with a penchant for sneezing, professor of Egyptology Daniel Jackson (James Spader) from the 1994 sci-fi flick Stargate traipses across an unknown world in search of knowledge, exploration and, unexpectedly, love. While off-world, he wears a loose robe and shawls given to him by the local tribe over his standard army clothes.

Lara Croft is just your average run-of-the-mill English archaeologist. Dodging boulders, navigating through ancient ruins, and fighting giant stone statues is just your typical day for this video game icon. She’s been somersaulting through hazardous tombs for over a decade and she’s only getting better.

In Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Henry “Mutt Williams” Jones III (Shia LaBeouf) is the son of Indiana Jones and Marion Ravenwood. As Indy’s new sidekick, he has big shoes to fill.

In Star Wars, Han Solo (Harrison Ford) is a reckless smuggler and the sarcastic captain of the Millennium Falcon. He accepts odd jobs, which lands him in trouble with Jabba the Hutt, but also gives him the opportunity to play a key role in the rebellion when transporting Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia.
