George Walton Lucas Jr. (born May 14, 1944) is an American filmmaker, producer and entrepreneur. Lucas is known for creating the Star Wars and Indiana Jones franchises and founding Lucasfilm, LucasArts and Industrial Light & Magic. He served as chairman of Lucasfilm before selling it to The Walt Disney Company in 2012. After graduating from the University of Southern California in 1967, Lucas co-founded American Zoetrope with filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola. Lucas wrote and directed THX 1138 (1971), based on his earlier student short Electronic Labyrinth: THX 1138 4EB, which was a critical success but a financial failure. His next work as a writer-director was the film American Graffiti (1973), inspired by his youth in early 1960s Modesto, California, and produced through the newly founded Lucasfilm. The film was critically and commercially successful, and received five Academy Award nominations including Best Picture. Lucas's next film, the epic space opera Star Wars (1977), had a troubled production but was a surprise hit, becoming the highest-grossing film at the time, winning six Academy Awards and sparking a cultural phenomenon. Lucas produced and co-wrote the sequels The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and Return of the Jedi (1983). With director Steven Spielberg, he created, produced and co-wrote the Indiana Jones films Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), Temple of Doom (1984), The Last Crusade (1989) and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008). He also produced and wrote a variety of films and television series through Lucasfilm between the 1970s and the 2010s. In 1997, Lucas rereleased the Star Wars trilogy as part of a special edition featuring several alterations; home media versions with further changes were released in 2004 and 2011. He returned to directing with a Star Wars prequel trilogy comprising The Phantom Menace (1999), Attack of the Clones (2002), and Revenge of the Sith (2005). He last collaborated on the CGI-animated television series Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008–2014, 2020), the war film Red Tails (2012), and the CGI film Strange Magic (2015). Lucas is one of history's most financially successful filmmakers and has been nominated for four Academy Awards. His films are among the 100 highest-grossing movies at the North American box office, adjusted for ticket-price inflation. Lucas is considered a significant figure of the 20th-century New Hollywood movement.

The film is set in 1934, it is a prequel to the entire film series. The film starts in 1964, where 65 Year old Henry "Indiana" Jones is entertaining the people at Demetrius Brody's 50th Birthday party with his adventurous stories. Demetrius is the son of Marcus Brody, friend of Indiana that passed away in 1952. Demetrius asks Indiana to tell the story about him and his father searching for the Fountain of Youth, so Indy does. Indy starts telling the store, and the scene turns to a flashback. It is now 1934 in Princeton, New Jersey. Indiana has been teaching at Princeton University for exactly 1 year. Indiana works as a historian teacher along with his colleagues Harold Oxley and Marcus Brody. The story continues with the three men flying to Kent, England. Oxley's studies show that the Fountain of Youth did reveal where it was located, like Juan Ponce de León said it did. But the St. Augustine it was talking about was not in Florida, it wasn't even a place. The prophecy speaks of St. Augustine's Constituency, which was a UK Parliament Constituency in the 1800's that took place because of a election. The prophecy told the future, the Constituency took place in Kent. The ancestor of Juan Ponce de León, Santa Ponce de León, finds out about the discovery and goes to Kent with a team of rebels to take the Fountain of Youth and to complete the Ponce de León quest for youth. A Brazilian philosopher, Barmay Quinn, helps the three men hide the Fountain of Youth from Ponce de León. But Quinn and her young boy sidekick, Short Round, turn on the three men and leave Kent with buckets filled with water from the Fountain of Youth. Short Round with feelings of guilt, turns on Quinn and goes back and helps Indiana and his friends. Indiana and Santa Ponce de León have a sword off, where Indiana kills Santa and has a friend from the American Museum of Natural History, F. Trubee Davison, take the Fountain to the museum. Indiana, Oxley, Marcus, and Short Round leave kent, and Short Round and Indiana begin their adventures from there.
