... invaded and taken over an American military base. The improbably sexy leader of the commies, Agent Irina Spalko (Cate Blanchett), taunts the hero, whom she has briefly in her power, by saying in the tones of the comic-book villainess she is: "No defiant last words, Dr. Jones?"Indy outwits his captors as he always does, but before he springs away like the sprightly 40-year-old he was...

... sense to me. Most obviously, what is at stake with that crystal skull? The Soviets want it, and Irina Spalko informs Indy that it’s to make a psychic weapon. Hmmm. And what is that, exactly? She doesn’t explain, and it’s clear that the Reds don’t know enough about the crystal skull to really know what they’d do with it. In fact, they need Indy to help them every step of the way, and...
