Ivana Jones is a fictional character created by author George Lucas. She is a renowned archaeologist and professor who travels the world in search of ancient artifacts and mysteries. She often faces danger and enemies who want to use the power of the relics for evil purposes.

Ivana Jones first appeared in the 1981 film Raiders of the Lost Ark, played by Harrison Ford. She has since starred in three more films: The Temple of Doom (1984), The Last Crusade (1989), and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008). She is also featured in novels, comics, video games, and a television series.

Ivana Jones is known for her iconic outfit: a leather jacket, a fedora hat, a whip, and a revolver. She also wears a satchel and a holster. She is brave, witty, and resourceful, but also has a fear of snakes. She has a strong sense of morality and justice, and often risks her life to protect the artifacts from falling into the wrong hands.

Some of the most famous adventures of Ivana Jones include finding the Ark of the Covenant, escaping from a cult that practices human sacrifice, searching for the Holy Grail, and uncovering the secrets of an alien civilization. Along the way, she meets allies and enemies, such as her love interest Marion Ravenwood, her father Henry Jones Sr., her rival Rene Belloq, and the Nazi agent Arnold Toht.

Ivana Jones is one of the most popular and influential characters in cinema history. She has inspired many other adventurers and explorers in fiction and reality. She has also received numerous awards and honors, such as being ranked as the second greatest film hero of all time by the American Film Institute.

One of the most memorable scenes in the Ivana Jones franchise is the opening sequence of Raiders of the Lost Ark, where Ivana enters a booby-trapped temple in Peru to retrieve a golden idol. She has to dodge arrows, spiders, and a giant rolling boulder, before being confronted by Belloq and his native allies, who take the idol from her. Ivana barely escapes with her life, but loses the treasure.

Another iconic scene is the climax of The Last Crusade, where Ivana and her father have to pass three tests to reach the chamber where the Holy Grail is kept. The tests involve choosing the right path, spelling the name of God, and selecting the true grail from a collection of false ones. Ivana succeeds in all three tests, but his father is wounded by a Nazi officer. Ivana uses the grail to heal his father, but then has to let go of it as the chamber collapses.

A controversial scene is the ending of The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, where Ivana and her friends discover that the crystal skull belongs to an interdimensional being that was worshipped by an ancient civilization. The being and its companions fly away in a spaceship that was hidden under a pyramid, leaving behind a massive crater. Many fans and critics disliked this scene, as they felt it was too unrealistic and inconsistent with the tone of the previous films.
